Exploring barriers to the effective use of computer-based simulation in pharmacy education: a mixed-methods case study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At the University of Tasmania (UTAS), pharmacy education traditionally relies on placements to provide students with hands-on experience. However, these placements have become increasingly limited due to logistical challenges and growing student numbers. Computer-based simulation (CBS) has the potential to offer a scalable, effective alternative to enhance learning and critical thinking. However, integrating CBS in pharmacy education faces several barriers that must be addressed for successful implementation.

Objective

To gain insight into pharmacy educators' and students' views regarding the barriers, and potential solutions, to integrating CBS in pharmacy practice education.

Methods

This mixed-methods case study involved semi-structured interviews with ph
