	Students’ Comments
What parts of this training do you expect to use in the future? Thinking of the soonest opportunity, describe where, when, and how.	* “Motivational Interviewing and giving information regarding food labels, calculation with BMI, and amounts of sugar in a product. The soonest opportunity will be with my extended family and as soon as Covid-19 is in control and its safe to do so, volunteering at community health fairs in Fresno county.”
	* “Learning how to effectively coach and speak to patients with empathy and understanding is definitely something I'm going to take with me to my IPPE and APPE rotations and retail internship. I now know how to better communicate with patients to gain their trust and show them empathy.”
	* “I plan on using this training at work when I counsel patients on lifestyle habits to go along with their pharmacologic therapy.”
	* “I really enjoyed the rule of 5-2-1-0, and I’m working on it. I already talked about it with some of my friends who are living out of country.”
Strengths	* “I really like the interprofessional collaboration and learning these topics from a different perspective. Also seeing the way that this course can be used in different parts of the medical field.”
	* “Breaking into groups and have them be a mix so everyone can see different point of views. Sharing real life examples is helpful in understanding current topics being taught.”
	* “Applications were beneficial in keeping us engaged and enhancing our learning.”
	* “The lectures are extremely helpful when learning the do's and don'ts of coaching, how to read nutrition labels, the importance of the 5-2-1-0 curriculum, and the transtheoretical model of change.”
	* “Leaving room for discussion and questions from the students, or real-life situations. It helps a lot.”
	* “I really enjoyed the readiness material, especially with links to supplemental articles and websites that are accessible for information. I also enjoyed the RATs, I think they allow for engagement with each other.”
	* “Very organized multiprocessors and very professional and knowledgeable.”
Areas for Improvement	* “More questions in the quizzes.”
	* “Virtually doing our mock interviews was tough and did not help me at all”
	* “I think for the mock interview videos, it would have been great to see an example from the professors even if it was a short video just to get a little guidance”
	* “Using technology to present a power-point presentation without any formal training in this application was the most stressful part of the program.”
	* “The applications could have been a little more challenging and thought-provoking to induce more discussion amongst students from different professional backgrounds.”
	* “When putting students in groups to discuss, maybe having someone who is in charge of starting conversation. This might be helpful in having longer discussions.”
	* “Maybe if instead of 2 hours was an hour and half would be great.”
Insights	* “I learned that the patient has more power than they know. I understood we help them understand that and help them be the ones to make the right changes in their lives.”
	* “I didn’t realize how much motivational interviewing and coaching skills were utilized in different fields of study.”
	* “I really liked seeing the non-pharmacy professors teach since they bring in different perspectives and expertise, where their lectures say so much good material.”
	* “I learned that I am not that great talking to patients and that I need to practice confidence in my speech and building a relationship with patients that I am coaching.”
	* “I enjoyed collaborating with other future professionals and learning about the 5-2-1-0 material. As a dietetic student I have still yet to come across that information. Also, learning how to convert grams of sugar to teaspoons was something I was unaware of.”
	* “I discovered that it is important to not just give information that’s helpful to our patients but being able to give that information out effectively is what is most important.”
Additional Comments	* “Even though this class was after 6 hours of lecture on a Monday, I enjoyed it.”
	* “I really enjoyed the time and the knowledge that I gained throughout this course.”
