Scenario-based eLearning

Building clinical judgment with practice, context, and care.

PrEP for Pharmacists is a learning experience for pharmacists and clinicians learning to navigate PrEP conversations, patient assessment, stigma, and evolving prescribing responsibilities.

Audience

Community pharmacists and clinicians in five Canadian provinces.

Role

Instructional design, learning experience design, eLearning development, and clinical content design.

Tools

Articulate Rise, Storyline, UI Bakery, and AI-supported research tools.

Focus

Safe, stigma-aware PrEP conversations and applied clinical judgment.

Overview

This project turns a sensitive clinical topic into a practical learning path.

Pharmacists are taking on expanded prescribing responsibilities, but implementation can vary by province and by practice setting. A course like this needs to do more than explain medication facts.

The learning has to support patient assessment, communication, documentation, follow-up, and the human side of care. It also has to recognize that HIV, sexuality, and substance use can still carry stigma in healthcare conversations.

I designed the course around realistic cases, branching choices, plain-language explanations, and applied assessment so learners can practice judgment before using it in real conversations.

Why this page matters

This page is written for people who want to see the thinking behind the work.

It focuses on the problem, the design choices, the learner experience, and what the project shows about my approach to learning and performance.

Need

What the learning needed to solve

01

Fragmented training

Pharmacists may face different provincial rules and uneven access to practical PrEP training.

02

Sensitive conversations

Learners need language for discussing HIV, sexuality, risk, and substance use with respect and confidence.

03

Clinical judgment

Safe prescribing requires more than memorizing facts. Learners need to apply frameworks to realistic patient situations.

Design response

How I shaped the learning experience

01

Map the practice context

I clarified the audience, provinces, scope differences, and performance goals before shaping the course.

02

Build realistic scenarios

Branching patient cases give learners space to practice communication, eligibility assessment, and decision-making.

03

Include social context

The course connects PrEP to stigma, public health, and the communities affected by HIV prevention.

04

Design for adaptation

The structure can be adjusted as pharmacy practice standards and scopes continue to evolve.

Myth versus reality interaction

This interaction helps learners challenge assumptions about HIV, stigma, and the LGBTQ+ community before moving into patient assessment and prescribing decisions.

What it shows

What people should look for in this project

  • How the project connects to a real learner need
  • How complex information is organized into something easier to use
  • How the format supports practice, confidence, judgment, or performance
  • How the design choices match the context instead of relying on one default course format

This project belongs in my portfolio because it shows more than an artifact. It shows how I think through the audience, the work, the constraints, and the kind of support that would actually help.

Evaluation strategy

How I'd know whether this course actually worked.

No cohort has gone through this program yet, so what follows is a proposed strategy, not a results report.

PrEP for Pharmacists doesn't have completion or behaviour data behind it. What follows is the Kirkpatrick-based evaluation strategy I designed alongside the course, built to answer a different question than most course evaluations ask: not just whether pharmacists learned the material, but whether that learning would translate into anything that matters once the course ends.

The strategy tracks training investment, learner capability, workplace behaviour, organizational results, and potential ROI as five separate links in one chain, not one score assumed to predict the rest. A passing assessment is evidence of learning, not proof pharmacists apply it in practice, and consultation volume is evidence of behaviour change, not proof it's clinically safe. Each level gets its own measures for exactly that reason.

The strategy's central argument is that organizational reach, not learner competence, is where a program like this is most likely to fail. A pharmacist can complete the course and demonstrate real clinical judgment, and the training can still produce no measurable impact if too few pharmacists are trained, if pharmacies don't promote the service, or if patients never learn it exists. That's why the plan's Level 4 instrument tracks training reach and implementation before it asks anything about results.

Five levels, tracked separately

Training investment → Learner capability → Workplace behaviour → Organizational results → Potential ROI.

The full plan includes the Level 4 impact dashboard, the clinical-quality and patient-safety measures paired with service growth, and the ROI framing.
