Abstract

Abstract: Evidence-based pharmacy refers to the use of evidence-based medicine methodology to solve practical problems in the field of pharmacy. To improve evidence-based pharmacy practice ability of clinical pharmacy students, Sichuan University began to offer evidence-based pharmacy courses for fourth-year undergraduate students majoring in clinical pharmacy since 2015. This article introduces the design and implementation process of the course and evaluates the teaching effect through three aspects: course performance, students practical ability, and students evaluation of teaching. The results showed that 93.8% (213/227) of the students' course scores were excellent or good (greater than or equal to 76 points). Students use the evidence-based pharmacy knowledge they have learned to actively carry out research and clinical case analysis. The teaching evaluation score in 2016 was 88.8 points, and in 2020 it was 97.0 points. The implementation of evidence-based pharmacy courses helps to improve students' evidence-based pharmacy practical abilities, improve teaching evaluation scores, and achieve good teaching results in evidence-based pharmacy courses.
