Professor of Pharmacy

University of Connecticut

“Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.”

– Albert Camus

The pharmacy profession entrusts me to train competent and compassionate future

pharmacists and to continue the training of current pharmacists. Pharmacists of

yesteryear such as Albert White and Henry Palmer have demonstrated to me through

their actions what an awesome responsibility that is. Their love and dedication for their

profession was passed down to me and I have a responsibility to pharmacists of the past

like them and to the pharmacists of tomorrow to bestow drug knowledge while also

instilling a sense of pride in the profession and a real personal concern for patient care.

As such, I believe that I need to be a teacher, facilitator, and leader. The important tenets

of didactic and experiential teaching to which I ascribe are delineated below.

As you read the tenets of my pedagogical approach, I hope you will appreciate that I did

not just stumble upon this philosophy and approach. I started with a strong baseline

teaching approach (emulated from the professors that impacted me such as Ronald Gailey

and Robert Hamilton) and then continued to refine it over the years. Discussions with

other instructors, reading books on leadership and teaching, and through self assessment I

have identified some weaknesses and attempted to correct them by trying some new

things. However, the biggest changes in my teaching have arisen from discussion that I

have had with the students about what instructors they love, what they love about them,

what are the things that I do well, and what I could do to improve my pedagogy. This

open exchange of ideas has been the primary driver of teaching improvement. Based on

this feedback and self-assessment I developed Pharmacist Interactive Clinical Cases

(PICCs). This learning platform seems especially well suited to demonstrating the use of

drug knowledge in the simulated care of the patient. With this case approach, I have first

used study methodology to evaluate instructional effectiveness. Overall, the PICCs cases

rated much higher amongst pharmacy students than standard case based teaching formats.

Didactic Teaching: I believe that there are 5 qualities that a teacher needs to have to

underpin optimal didactic pedagogy. I have tried to incorporate these in my teaching

wherever possible.

1. Pragmatic: To use the time allocated in a manner that optimizes the learning

experience. By starting with the time allocated to a certain topic and then

devising a the lecture content, I can determine the most important topics to be

covered and allow time to enrich the content with examples and cases,

empowering the students to learn and to utilize the information in their

professional lives, and to prevent boredom that sucks out student’s life force over

Page 7: Teaching Philosophy and Approach - University of … Hartford Hospital Department of Pharmacy Core ... Lectures at Hartford Hospital. Lectures on ... Teaching Philosophy and Approach

the course of the class period. I think that teachers get into trouble when they are

given a topic and think that it is a mandate that they need to cover 5 hours of

material in 3 hours. This stifles creativity, creates frustration amongst students,

and prevents optimal student learning.

2. Enriching: To provide not only the content but to provide context. Context is

important because it helps students see how the knowledge can be learned,

understood, and used in their professional lives. A Chinese Proverb states a

learning philosophy: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember,

involve me and I will understand.”

3. Empowering: Even if students understand a concept and know how it can be used

in patient care, that doesn’t assure that they will use that information in that

manner in their professional lives. Students, like most everyone, need to be

inspired to act for the betterment of their patients. To create a caring health

professional, real life examples of medical care gone wrong due to a lack of

involvement and the impact of a health professional on a patient’s life really does

motivate students in a positive way.

4. Not Boring: The best content and the snappiest slides will not achieve optimal

knowledge attainment if the students are bored. The use of enrichment to help

understanding and involvement of the students in the learning process as well as

empowering students are important techniques to stave off boredom. However,

the use of humor dispersed sparingly throughout the class period that is loosely or

integrally related to the topic material not only stimulates interest but also makes

the faculty person seem more approachable and human. If done too much, it can

causes a loss of student focus and distracts from learning.

5. In Control: While some measure of lightheartedness in class is valuable and

student perception that it is ok to ask questions is valuable, the majority of

students should not be disadvantaged from learning due to disruptive students.

Acceptable student conduct needs to be explicitly spelled out and the faculty

member needs to assure that a single student does not have the capacity to derail

the learning of the majority. I am sure that at this point most people reading this

are thinking about the poorer quality student or the class clown and do occur.

However, advanced or truly gifted students can also derail learning by incessantly

asking questions that while delivered at a high level and are not relevant to vast

majority of students. In both circumstances, the faculty person needs to

communicate with the student out of class and explain what the concern is and

how to remedy it. For example, the advanced students should know that you

would be happy to answer these questions out of class and would enjoy the

discussion but the problem associated with having a two person conversation in

front of a class of 100 students given dense learning content.

Page 8: Teaching Philosophy and Approach - University of … Hartford Hospital Department of Pharmacy Core ... Lectures at Hartford Hospital. Lectures on ... Teaching Philosophy and Approach

Experiential Teaching: Similarly, I believe that an optimal experiential rotation is

underpinned by 4 main qualities. I try to incorporate these qualities into my experiential

rotations every month.

1. Assuring: Students need to achieve a standard level of clinical knowledge before

initiating patient contact. I believe that students should be intensively trained and

their knowledge assessed for the first 2 days of the rotation before they are

allowed to start interacting with other health professionals. A third day can be

added if needed. If students do not have adequate baseline knowledge, they have

nothing to contribute to the healthcare team initially. This means that they run the

risk of being made an outsider for the entire month even when they catch on and

have something to contribute. By assuring the healthcare team that only well

trained students are on rounds, members of the healthcare team are more likely to

incorporate students into the team earlier and more fully so students can have the

optimal experience.

2. Empowering: Making students go into the patient’s room and introduce

themselves and let the patient and their family know they will be looking at the

patient’s drugs to prevent drug interaction, assure optimal dosing, and to help in

drug selection is a wonderful technique to help students accept ownership for the

patient’s health. In afternoon discussions, reinforcing that the patients they are

presenting are real people and that they are in need of good pharmaceutical care to

help the student accept personal responsibility for the patient. If a student can see

the patient as a person rather than a case or a project than you do not have to

motivate them, just guide them.

3. Facilitative: Students need to be able to practice their craft. If their rotation

preceptor is with them all the time and is taking the lead, the student does not get

to feel the responsibility for direct patient care. They know that their responses

will be filtered through another person which waters down their experience. By

having students meet intensively early on to assess knowledge competency,

shadowing the students on rounds for the first 5 rounding days (more if needed),

and then giving them the freedom to round on their own for the rest of the rotation

seems to be a good approach. By meeting daily to discuss all patients before the

end of the day, students can discuss their patients and try out their potential

interventions to see if they should be made before going on rounds. I call this

process facilitative independence.

4. Intense to the End: The end of a rotation can create a lull in learning and growth.

The students can extract chart information with greater ease, they know what is

expected with patient presentations during preceptor discussions, and they see the

end of the rotation coming. Over the course of the month, students have been

exposed to new drugs, new knowledge about these drugs, and new approaches to

treating patients but there needs to be an impetus for students to take this

knowledge and incorporate it into their long term memory. Only then can the

knowledge be applied to future patients. Incorporating an end of rotation oral

Page 9: Teaching Philosophy and Approach - University of … Hartford Hospital Department of Pharmacy Core ... Lectures at Hartford Hospital. Lectures on ... Teaching Philosophy and Approach

final exam that focused on the drug knowledge that should have been attained

helps meet the aforementioned goals. Having students deliver a high quality

formal presentation to the faculty on site, residents, and fellows also help students

develop confidence in their ability to teach and enhances their drug knowledge.

By scheduling the presentations towards the end of the rotation, students have an

activity to work at that can also help prevent the end of rotation lull.

Student Evaluations of Teaching are given for every course where a faculty member

teaches more than 6 hours of content and are on a 10 point scale with higher scores

associated with better perception of teaching. For every course evaluated, my Student

Evaluation of Teaching Scores were above the departmental average, except one. In the

one instance where my SET score was at the average (Spring 2009), this was the only

time my name was hand written on the SET form, not mechanically imprinted. I am not

sure if the form was ascribed to me in error. My average score over all years is

9.300.45 versus the departmental average of 8.310.43, p<0.0001.

Student Evaluations of Precepting Section F

C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP

Professor of Pharmacy

University of Connecticut

Student Evaluations of Precepting (SEP) scores are the average score on a scale of 0-5

points from students on experiential rotations (Advanced Practice Pharmacy

Experiences). Of the 16 years where I had SEP scores, my SEP scores fell below the

departmental average in two of the years (2006 and 2007). At that time I became the

Director of the UCONN/Hartford Hospital EPC and increased scholarly time to 70-80%

(from 40% previously) with no reduction in the number of students I took. I needed to

dramatically reduce the time I spent with rotational students and utilize my research

fellows in a more substantive way, which took a few months (spanning two academic

years) to figure out. I am very pleased that since that time, I have created the right

experience and am again providing an above average experience. Since 2006 I am only

doing half of the normal rotational teaching and half the credit goes to the fellows that co-

precept these experiences.

C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP

Professor of Pharmacy

University of Connecticut

In 2006 I developed a new approach to teach case based information called Pharmacist

Interactive Clinical Cases. This approach was designed to be more interactive, clinically

relevant, and fun to complete. I piloted the cases on experiential rotation students and

gathered data on their perceptions via a survey tool. I used it in Therapeutics 254 in

Spring 2007 and also administered a survey asking for student perceptions. Students in

both surveys rated the PICCs surveys much higher than traditional case based learning

approaches. The manuscript summarizing these findings is given in the following

attachment.

Book Chapters and Review Articles of Note

Section I C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP

Professor of Pharmacy

University of Connecticut

Book chapters and review articles are important teaching modalities for pharmacists and

students. By summarizing the current literature and presenting in a way that empowers

and engages the reader, effective distance learning occurs. Of particular note, I have co-

authored book chapters in Applied Therapeutics and the Pharmacotherapy Self-

Assessment Program which are high visibility and high impact books. Several of my

review articles in the Annals of Pharmacotherapy or US Pharmacist have been given

accompanying CE questions.
