The educator role for pharmacists is broad and involves diverse roles, including teaching patients, designing and delivering continuing education, mentoring/precepting students, and educating other care professionals in small and large group settings. In order to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to fulfill this mandate, a course in educational theories and methods is important. Material from this course will be applied in a practical sense to pharmacy practice courses and experiential learning activities. Specific topics to be covered in the course will include: development of behavioural learning objectives, learning theories, teaching techniques for various audiences, assessment tools, methods, and techniques and educational practice as a professional.
