Teaching Institute: Supporting Experiment Design and Rigor in Graduate Training
12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Sponsored by the Division for Pharmacology Education (DPE)
Co-sponsored by the Divisions for Behavioral Pharmacology, Cardiovascular Pharmacology, Drug Discovery and Development, Drug Metabolism, Molecular Pharmacology, Neuropharmacology, and Toxicology

Concerns around scientific reproducibility have resulted in the development of Principles and Guidelines for Reporting Preclinical Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that speak to rigorous statistical analysis, transparency in reporting, data and materials sharing, consideration of refutations, and the consideration of the development of best practice guidelines. Several mechanisms, including administrative supplements to NIH training grants, are funding the development of approaches to address these concerns. Here we present a survey of ongoing efforts that are delivering training in scientific reproducibility to predoctoral trainees. Our goal is provide the tools to address training in scientific reproducibility.

IPE: Educating a New Generation of Healthcare Professionals
2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Sponsored by the Division for Pharmacology Education (DPE)
Co-sponsored by all ASPET divisions
Chair:
Ashley J. McFalls - Pennsylvania State Univ. Col. of Med.
Participants will experience the four interprofessional education (IPE) competencies through interactive learning modalities that bring the concepts "alive". Principles of curriculum development and frameworks for effecting organizational change will be introduced using theoretical models that can be applied to IPE. Successful pharmacology-related IPE endeavors and data supporting these initiatives will be presented. Finally, the session will conclude with participants developing action plans for implementing IPE at their own institutions.
