Where can pharmacists find diabetes-related education?

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can search for and find continuing education (CE) courses on the ACPE website at their PLAN search page.

It may take some time to sift through all of the CE information, yet it is super helpful to zoom in on the specific topic(s) you might be interested in.

You can find the list of diabetes-related content below and here are some interesting details I found while collating the information.

CE Type and Format

With 157 total CEs, including several duplicate live sessions, not surprisingly, there are more knowledge-based CE available, with application-based, and practice-based (certificate programs) CE following behind.

The specific breakdown is:

Regarding the CE format, specifically, live or home study, there is a 2:1 ratio in favor of home study courses.

List of Diabetes-related CE (as of February 15, 2023)

The list of available diabetes-related CE will continue to update on the ACPE website. As listed above, the direct link brings you to the PLAN search page.

The table is a bit clunky but you can scroll over and you can sort each column individually.

Pro tip: Within the UAN/CPN number, there is a section that lists a letter H or L and a number. For example, H01 or L01. For a home-study course, you will see an H. A live course will list L. Similarly, if there is a Live date listed, it can be assumed that it is a live CE.

3 Alternatives for your learning objectives slide

Bullet points…agh!

When time is limited, cognitive dissonance seeps in. However, making a small change in the opening of your slide deck is easier than you think – seeing a new way can be a simple remedy.

This article gives you a few ideas to freshen up your required and important learning objective slide.

A special thank you to Dr. Stefanie Nigro, an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy. These are real learning objectives, repurposed with permission.


The Starting Line

Here is a typical learning objectives slide:

This is a fairly standard-looking slide, with bullet points to highlight the objectives. While effective, the overutilization of bullet points promotes the learner to read off of the slide and disengage from the speaker (..that’s you). Fortunately, you have alternatives.

There are several options that help improve engagement while still getting your message across effectively.

Let’s review a few alternatives.

Alternatives

Numbered list

Content with Caption layout

Advanced templates

Numbers

A quick update to try is changing your bullet points to a numbered list:

However, if this feels like you’re cheating, you can reformat the numbers using Shapes.

In this case, we’re using an oval shape to create our numbered list:

Content with caption layout

Another alternative is to change the layout of the slide. One particularly useful option is the Two Content slide layout.

This update makes it easy and simple to change from a Title and Content slide, which most of the slides end up being, to a Content with Caption slide.

Advanced templates

Templates can enhance or limit both creativity and learner engagement. While Microsoft Powerpoint has many different templates, sometimes it is helpful to see what other options are available.

This is where graphic design and presentation-focused websites come in. There are many sites you can find and here is merely a short list (in alphabetical order):

Beautiful.ai

Canva

Prezi

Visme

There are often reduced pricing options for students/educators, in addition to the usual free/basic tiers.

Here are a few examples of what you can find and create using these various sites:

VISME

Built using a template on Visme, this offers a very different look and feel compared to a traditional PowerPoint template.

CANVA

The following slide is built with Canva and is essentially a mix of a few of the PowerPoint template slides that are shown above. One quick note: Including the image (stethoscope) could be distracting, so you’ll want to consider where you want to draw the learner’s focus to.

Beautiful.ai

One last version, built with Beautiful.ai, is a powerful site used to create presentations. You’ll need a paid version or student (.edu) account to remove the branding though.


The Finish line

There you have it! A few new options for creating your learning objectives slide.

An important note – you can build many of these slides within PowerPoint as well, however, it’ll be much faster to use a template.

Good luck and happy learning!

How We Do Things

Given the current crisis and challenges we are all facing today and the weeks to come, it is inevitable that we will have difficult conversations.

Conversations with co-workers who are acclimating to remote work, conversations with groups of people who are not respecting social distancing, and conversations between and among healthcare professionals.

It is understood that we will limit access to healthcare facilities. Whether to visitors or “non-essential” staff. The conversations aren’t easy – they’re not supposed to be.

But we can decide how we have them. Too often, there is apathy or lack of understanding for each other. There is another way – with empathy and with respect.

This is how we should always do things.

Design Thinking: A Short Primer

These days, very few things have me as excited as Design Thinking. It is a model to identify problems with a focus on a human centered approach (called human centered design).

While the concept has been applied to business, it is also used in education and healthcare, among other industries.

By definition, design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process which seeks to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test.

It revolves around several steps: Empathy -> Define -> Ideate -> Prototype -> Test

As mentioned in a webinar below, we could add “accept” to the begin – a step to accept that you have a problem.

D.thinking can also be broken down into:

  1. Experimentation
  2. Deep Understanding
  3. Creative Reframing

From a business standpoint, you can find it broken down by:

  1. Desirability
  2. Viability
  3. Feasability

It is also seen as a culture of mindsets:

  1. Re-framing
  2. Curiosity
  3. Radical Collaboration
  4. Mindful of Process
  5. Bias for Action

Another interesting framework coming out of d.thinking is the double diamond design. This includes:

Discover -> Define -> Develop -> Deliver

Over the next several posts, sporadic or otherwise, most of the topics will including DT and how it can be used in healthcare.

The references below are the ones I came across so far and is not an exhaustive list. I’ll continue to update it as I find more.

Posture

Posture is a very interesting topic. It is how we hold ourselves, physically and mentally/emotionally.

It clearly applies to our physical body – being upright and awesome as a good friend used to say. Coincidentally, how you’re carrying your body also suggests how you are feeling emotionally. Confident, arrogant, distracted, depressed, etc. These characteristics are held internally but can be identified by others, externally – for those that choose to see (but that is another post for another time).

What is most interesting are the mental postures we hold.

The few that stand out are:

  • Kindness
  • Generosity
  • Being present

While there are many more to list, for me, this is as good place to start as any. As we can learn from Tom Peters, a bias for action, is the most important step towards excellence. All of these types of postures can be applied to ourselves and to others and show up slightly differently depending on our given situation. So I start here…because there’s a lifetime of work with just these three ideas.

A place to build to is – Ethos – “meaning character that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology.”

Stay tuned as we dig into each of these, and more, in the next few blog posts.

Squirrel

There are many days when you get distracted. Other days, you’re in flow.

Interestingly, the moment of “Squirrel” is something like Shrödinger’s cat. That specific moment could simultaneously be a distraction or an inspiration. Only by seeing what happens next will you know which one it is.

While this is a loose extrapolation it does offer us an opportunity to realize that we get to choose (in that moment) what our next step will be – a distraction or inspiration.

What situations have the highest probability to pull you away and what can you choose to do in that situation?

PS – I’m not a physicist and my understanding of Erwin Schrödinger’s experiment could be incorrect but it sure is lots of fun to combine different ideas and see what happens. 🙂

Ambiguities

The next couple of posts will include quotes from Mister Rogers (Fred Rogers).

The world would be a better place if we all were a little more kind, just as he was.

I’ve often hesitated in beginning a project because I’ve thought, “It’ll never turn out to be even remotely like the good idea I have as I start.” I could just “feel” how good it could be. But I decided that, for the present, I would create the best way I know how and accept the ambiguities.

-Fred Rogers

There will always be ambiguities. Your best work is created by improving the “best way you know” and continuing to create things that are meaningful to you.

-This is an excerpt from the book The World According to Mister Rogers.

Solvay Conference

In 1927, a small group of Physicists and Chemists were invited to Brussels to discuss larger problems in both physics and chemistry. The first conference was held in 1911 and scientists attended by invitation only.

I was not aware of this conference until a few years ago but it has been on the top of my mind ever since. One interesting perspective about those who attended (made by Seth Godin) is that people weren’t invited because they won’t a Nobel Prize – no, people won a Nobel Prize because they were invited (attended).

Within most Pharmacy conferences, you sit and listen to a speaker. Occasionally, there is interactive learning but often this is limited to pressing a button to answer a question, disguised as interactive learning. There isn’t a framework similar to Solvay currently.

A significant gap is finding a place to work on the big problems, to brainstorm and test. While there may not be a Nobel Prize at the end, you just might be able to improve healthcare along the way.

Cooks in the Kitchen

In any collaborative effort, there is a chance that several people want to lead. The important part is identifying a leader and creating a team who will work together.

The challenge is when different groups do not want the same leader and communication is stifled as a positioning tactic to gain authority. You can navigate this by listening to the group, making sure everyone is heard, and ultimately making a decision with the best intentions for the collaboration in mind.

In the end, some people might not be happy and if you have done your due diligence as the leader, accepted mistakes, you can rest easy knowing you did your part.

Smart Recombinations

From a 2010 HBR article, The Four Phases of Design Thinking, you are introduced to the idea of “smart recombinations” and the work of John Thackara (In The Bubble and others).

The idea of combining unseen concepts (or groups) is very interesting. For example, you could combine difference disciplines at a health care conference:

  • Pharmacy and Social Work
  • Nursing and Occupational Therapy

You can also combine different learning methods and types.

What combination of didactic, interactive, and peer to peer learning can you create?

What combination of visual, auditory, and hands on learning can you incorporate?

The challenge is taking the time to look – but when we do, lots of unique combinations show up.

Happy Combining!
