Abstract

Objective: Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) educational activities can be utilized in the classroom to simulate patient cases. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in pharmacy student knowledge and confidence in hypertension, heart failure, and insulin management skills after completion of CYOA activities.

Methods: Three CYOA activities were developed for three separate lectures in two pharmacy electives on topics of hypertension, heart failure, and insulin management. Two different online platforms were used for the activities. Before and after each activity, instructor-created surveys were administered to students to assess knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction.

Results: One hundred and ten potential respondents completed at least one of the three activities between 2021 and 2023. Average knowledge and confidence improved for each disease state individually and when combined as a whole. Satisfaction was high (>4.5/5) for all activities and no differences were seen between activity platform.

Conclusions: CYOA activities can be successfully implemented in PharmD elective classrooms using a digital platform for a variety of disease states and skills. Knowledge and confidence were improved in each individual topic and overall. Students enjoyed this activity regardless of the platform. Validated surveys and follow up assessments would be beneficial in the future to determine if knowledge gains are sustainable.
