Abstract

One of the remits of the Pharmacy Additional Cost of Teaching (ACTp) Study was to develop competency-based assessments (CBAs) during experiential learning (EL) for student pharmacists in Scotland (Jacob et al., 2021). As this is a new undertaking for undergraduate pharmacy programmes, and based on previous recommendations, it was important to obtain expert opinions from other programmes with experience in CBAs undertaken by external assessors during EL. This study aims to obtain of experts in other programmes on the structures and processes of CBA.
