The lowest composite scores were self-expression and stress management. Students indicated that they find the GiANT Worldwide tools valuable and relevant. SUMMARY There are specific areas of focus within EI where we can continue to build skills in self-expression and stress management. Students tailor their personal growth in EI by setting SMART goals at the beginning of the program and continually reassess throughout the program. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Combining pharmaceutics and pharmacy practice into nonsterile compounding is ideal to increase problem-solving skills. The objectives of this activity were to (1) create a nonsterile compounding activity through a team-teaching collaboration, (2) increase students' independent problem-solving skills to compound a nonsterile natural product, and (3) assess student and faculty perceptions of the learning activity. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND SETTING The activity was created, implemented, and assessed using a team-teaching technique between pharmacy practice and pharmaceutics faculty. The first week students were tasked with extraction of an active ingredient from a natural product, and the second week students independently compounded a nonsterile product using the concentrated extract. Faculty and students were asked to give their perceptions of the activity. FINDINGS The activity has been taught to two cohorts of elective students. Students from both cohorts (n = 57) independently created a nonsterile compound, scoring an average (standard deviation) of 8.1 (1) and 8.6 (0.9) out of 10 points on their graded products for the 2018 and 2019 elective, respectively. Faculty collaboration and team-teaching adjustments to the content resulted in increased student performance (p = 0.0392). Student feedback
