AB  - Just-In-Time Teaching (JiTT) active learning pedagogy is utilized by various 
      disciplines, but its value in a professional pharmacy curriculum has not yet been 
      demonstrated. The purpose of our research study is to implement and evaluate JiTT 
      in a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program. The impetus in implementing JiTT into a 
      PharmD curriculum was to provide students with an out-of-classroom learning 
      opportunity to enhance knowledge-based skills. The current study summarizes the 
      implementation of JiTT in four distinct instances: two iterations of the required 
      courses "Integrated Microbiology and Virology" (Fall 2016 and Fall 2017) and 
      "Integrated Immunology" (Winter 2016-2017 and Winter 2017-2018). JiTT included 
      knowledge-based questions in multiple-choice format, integrated case studies, and 
      student responses prior to the actual lecture session. After the conclusion of 
      each course, students were asked to provide feedback on the utilization of JiTT 
      by way of an anonymous survey. Following the Fall 2016 iteration of the 
      Microbiology & Virology course, students found the integrated case studies to be 
      beneficial (mean = 3.27 out of a maximum of 4, SD = 0.62), and their overall 
      endorsement of JiTT was high (mean = 3.61 out of 4, SD = 0.50). For the other 
      three courses included in this study, the primary dependent variable was the 
      student's average rating of JiTT, rated on a five-point scale. Aggregating the 
      scores from the Fall 2017 iteration of the Integrated Microbiology & Virology 
      course and both instances of the Immunology course, students rated JiTT very 
      favorably (mean = 4.17 out of a maximum of 5, SD = 0.77). Students' performances 
      in JiTT-based courses were compared against non-JiTT-based courses. Analysis of 
      assessment data for student's performance on knowledge-based questions showed 
      JiTT was helpful for student learning and JiTT-based courses had more consistent 
      exam scores compared to non-JiTT-based courses. The current results are a 
      promising initial step in validating the usefulness of JiTT in a pharmacy program 
      and lays the foundation for future studies aimed at a direct comparison between a 
      traditional lecture style and JiTT pedagogy implemented into PharmD curricula.
