    Abstract Objective: To describe the design and evaluation of a dashboard tool to assess the readiness for advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs).
    Methods: The investigators developed a dashboard tool for the appraisal of APPE readiness consisting of indicators of pharmacy student knowledge, skills, and noncognitive attributes. For the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 rotation years, a panel of stakeholders used the dashboard to evaluate APPE readiness. Students deemed not ready (5 or more dashboard indicators) had a remediation experience before the APPEs. The investigators monitored the students who were deemed ready but at risk for substandard performance (3 or 4 indicators or completion of remediation experience) and tracked the incidence of substandard performance for all APPE students. The outcomes were presented using descriptive statistics. Performance of the tool between years was compared using the χ
    Results: For 2 APPE rotation cycles, the investigators evaluated readiness in 499 students. A total of 3 students were deemed not ready, and 78 students were considered at risk for substandard performance. The tool predicted 52.1% of students who experienced a substandard performance. It had a negative predictive value of 93.6% and a positive predictive value of 38.5% for substandard performance. The predictive value was similar across the risk categories of knowledge, skills, and noncognitive attributes.
    Conclusion: A dashboard tool facilitating holistic evaluation of APPE readiness was helpful in identifying students who were not ready for APPEs or at risk for substandard performance. The next steps include refinement of the tool through the evaluation of characteristics of students who experienced substandard performance and were not identified by the tool.

    Abstract Background and purpose: To describe one institution's approach to transformation of high-stakes objective structure clinical examinations (OSCEs) from norm-referenced to criterion-referenced standards setting and to evaluate the impact of these changes on OSCE performance and pass rates.
    Educational activity and setting: The OSCE writing team at the college selected a modified Angoff method appropriate for high-stakes assessments to replace the two standard deviation method previously used. Each member of the OSCE writing team independently reviewed the analytical checklist and calculated a passing score for active stations on OSCEs. Then the group met to determine a final pass score for each station. The team also determined critical cut points for each station, when indicated. After administration of the OSCEs, scores, pass rates, and need for remediation were compared to the previous norm-referenced method. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.
    Findings: OSCE scores remained relatively unchanged when switched to a criterion-referenced method, but the number of remediators increased up to 2.6 fold. In the first year, the average score increased from 86.8% to 91.7% while the remediation rate increased from 2.8% to 7.4%. In the third year, the average increased from 90.9% to 92% while the remediation rate increased from 6% to 15.6%. Likewise, the fourth-year average increased from 84.9% to 87.5% while the remediation rate increased from 4.4% to 9%.
    Summary: Transition to a modified Angoff method did not impact average OSCE score but did increase the number of remediations.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer patients with locally advanced breast cancer who require radical mastectomy are left with large chest wall defects. This poses a significant reconstructive challenge as many high-risk patients require timely postmastectomy adjuvant therapy. While the reverse abdominoplasty technique is commonly used for aesthetic improvement of the anterior trunk, it can be also be effectively used for closure of extensive mastectomy defects in this patient population.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all consecutive patients who underwent an extensive radical mastectomy followed by immediate closure with the reverse abdominoplasty technique at a single tertiary cancer center from June 2017 to July 2022. Patients who had concurrent skin grafting or breast mound flap reconstruction were excluded. Demographic, medical, oncologic, and reconstructive data were collected.
    Results: Six patients were treated with reverse abdominoplasty for 9 chest wall defects after surgical excision of locally advanced breast cancer. The median tumor size was 10.7 cm (range, 6.7-10 cm) and the median mastectomy weight was 865.7 g (range, 356.4-1247.7 g). On average, the operation length was 191 minutes (range, 86-257 minutes) and the postoperative length of stay was 2.2 days (range, 1-5 days). All patients underwent systemic adjuvant therapy and the median time from surgery to initiation of therapy was 44.5 days (range, 32-75 days).
    Conclusions: Reverse abdominoplasty is a simple and safe technique to reliably close large defects after locally advanced breast cancer excision. It has a short operative time, hospital stay, and turnaround time to initiation of adjuvant therapy.

    Abstract Pediatric providers were called on to care for adult patients well beyond their typical scope of practice during the first surge of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Here, the authors share novel viewpoints and innovations from the perspective of providers, consultants, and families. The authors enumerate several of the challenges encountered, including those faced by leadership in supporting teams, balancing competing responsibilities to children while caring for critically ill adult patients, preserving the model of interdisciplinary care, maintaining communication with families, and finding meaning in work during this unprecedented crisis.

    Abstract Since mid-1990s, scholars of Indian education have placed increasing emphasis on indigenous approaches to federal Indian boarding schools during the early 20th century. Where earlier studies emphasized the design and operation of boarding schools, more recent literature often examines how Native students, families, and communities sometimes used the schools to access employment, offset financial hardship, and gain new skills and perspectives. To some, scholarly emphasis on “the brighter side of boarding schools” covers over the hardship and loss brought about by institutions created to eradicate Native American cultures and identities. In this article, I address a central question: How can scholars of Indian education illuminate Native approaches to boarding schools without underplaying the tremendous cultural loss they inflicted on indigenous communities? Drawing on the expansive secondary literature on federal Indian education and primary source documents from Sherman Institute, a federal Indian boarding school in Riverside, California, I argue that studies of Indian education can benefit from deeper consideration of the concept of “cultural genocide” and careful attention to Native voices of the past and present.

    Abstract Background and purpose: During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, experiential education became challenging as sites began to cancel scheduled rotations, and the University of Florida College of Pharmacy had to cancel the first advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) block. This was allowable given the excess number of experiential hours built into the curriculum.
    Educational activity and setting: To meet total program credit hour requirements, a six-credit virtual course was created to mimic an experiential rotation. This course was designed to bridge didactic learning with experiential learning. The course included presentation of patient cases, topic discussions, pharmaceutical calculations, self-care cases, disease state management cases, and career development.
    Findings: Students provided feedback via a survey containing 23 Likert type questions and four open-ended questions. Most students agreed or strongly agreed that participation in self-care scenarios, small group discussions (calculations and topic discussion), and disease state management cases (preceptor dialogue and verbal defense activities) were valuable learning experiences. The verbal defense portion of the disease management case and the self-care scenarios were the most highly rated learning activities. Peer review activities in the career development assignments were seen as the least beneficial component of the course.
    Summary: This course allowed students an opportunity to further prepare for APPEs in a unique learning environment. The college was able to identify students requiring additional support during APPEs and provide earlier intervention. Additionally, data supported exploring incorporation of new learning activities into the current curriculum.
