摘要

目的：本研究探讨学生药剂师如何参与并与当地政府和社区利益相关者合作，提供公共卫生教育，评估他们在宣传工作中的表现，并检查他们对学习经验和随后的专业成长的反思观点。方法：药学院与当地市议会建立了合作伙伴关系，以使学生能够推动变革并加强社区参与。市议会邀请学生药剂师每季就解决社区需求的主题发表演讲。在教师的指导下，学生小组在市议会会议上向议会成员和公众提出了公共卫生主题。每次演讲都包括问答环节和教师主导的汇报。教师使用经过验证的标准评估学生在社区教育和宣传方面的表现。此外，学生的反思定性分析使用归纳的方法。结果：在2019年12月至2024年6月期间，46名学生在10次市议会会议上就各种公共卫生主题发表了演讲。这些演讲涉及阿片类药物过量、COVID-19应对、低视力支持、心理健康促进、疫苗接种外展和安全针头处置。学生们的反思突出了关键主题，包括公共卫生教育、社区倡导、与地方政府的合作、药房实践的影响以及专业发展。结论：学生药剂师获得了宝贵的经验，参与市议会，代表行业，倡导公共卫生，并在社区产生积极影响。这种与地方政府的伙伴关系可以作为药学教育更广泛整合的典范。

From Classroom to City Hall: Student Pharmacists Advocate for Public Health at City Council Meetings

Objective

This study explores how student pharmacists engage and collaborate with local government and community stakeholders to deliver public health education, evaluates their performance in advocacy efforts, and examines their reflective perspectives on the learning experience and subsequent professional growth.

Methods

A collaborative partnership between the School of Pharmacy and the local city council was established to empower students to drive change and enhance community involvement. The city council invited student pharmacists to deliver quarterly presentations on topics addressing community needs. Under faculty guidance, student groups presented public health topics at city council meetings with council members and the public. Each presentation included a question-and-answer session and a faculty-led debriefing. Faculty assessed student performance in community education and advocacy using a validated rubric. Additionally, students' reflections were qualitatively analyzed using an inductive approach.

Results

Between December 2019 and June 2024, 46 students delivered presentations on various public health topics at 10 city council meetings. These presentations addressed opioid overdose, COVID-19 response, low vision support, mental health promotion, vaccination outreach, and safe needle disposal. Student reflections highlighted key themes, including public health education, community advocacy, engagement with local government, the impact of pharmacy practice, and professional growth.

Conclusion

Student pharmacists gained valuable experience engaging with the city council, representing the profession, advocating for public health, and making a positive impact in the community. Such partnerships with local government can serve as a model for broader integration in pharmacy education.
