PrEP for Pharmacists

Scenario-based eLearning

Building clinical judgment with practice, context, and care.

PrEP for Pharmacists is a bilingual 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.

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.

Interactive public health context

This example shows how the course uses Canadian HIV surveillance data to ground PrEP prescribing in a real public health context instead of treating it as a generic medication topic.

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

Learning Design Performance Support Practical Application

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.

Demo options

Choose how you want to view the course

This course can be viewed two ways. I recommend the LMS version if you want to see the course in a more realistic learning environment. The Netlify version is best if you want quick access without logging in.
