      <Abstract>Model Core Curriculum for pharmacy Education - 2015 revised edition introduced an outcome-based education system. With this clinical-based curriculum, clinical problem based learning (PBL), small group discussions (SGD) and hands-on skills labs with various activities were implemented. The outcome-based educational method, with the use of PBL and SGD, theoretically imparts skills and knowledge beyond the more traditional didactic methods. This new program seemed to be an overall positive experience for our students in introducing them to a more clinical-based form of practice. As these educational systems evolve, we strive to achieve a higher level of comprehension from the students. We will continue to adjust the case studies for pharmacy students to better reflect the current health of our community.</Abstract>
