ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

PURPOSE:

This study aimed to assess second year student pharmacists' (P2) confidence in communicating with patients with limited English proficiency before and after a required community-based health screening experience. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND

SETTING:

All P2s were required to complete a 0.5 credit hour Ambulatory Care Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE). As part of this experience, P2s conducted blood pressure (BP) and blood glucose (BG) screenings with a medical interpreter at a low-income apartment building that has a large Mandarin-speaking population. Each student was required to attend one health screening event. Between September 2022 and April 2023,we administered paper questionnaires to P2s and community members to obtain feedback about the experience. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and paired t-tests while a content analysis was conducted on qualitative data.

FINDINGS:

P2s (n = 82, 100%) conducted an average of 5.7 (SD 2.6) BP and 5.9 (SD 2.7) BG screenings per two-hour event. P2s reported higher confidence in conducting assessments, communicating via a medical interpreter, and working on a team at the end of the event. P2s agreed that it should be kept as part of the IPPE (99%). Community members (n = 55, 22%) participated in a bilingual paper-based questionnaire. Community members reported positive experiences and a desire to continue to participate.

SUMMARY:

At the end of the health screening event, P2s were more confident in their ability to communicate with older adult community members using translated written documents and verbally with a medical interpreter. P2s and community members supported continuation of the program.
