Biography
Dr. Ettie Rosenberg earned her Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) from the University of Southern California, and Juris Doctor (JD) from Southwestern University School of Law, both in Los Angeles.

Implementation and Lessons Learned from a Mock Trial as a Teaching- Learning and Assessment (CPTL, 2018); (6)“Interpretation of California’s Marijuana Regulation after Proposition 64, and Pharmacy Practice Roles in Medical Marijuana Dispensing against Federal Enforcement Risks (JCPhP, 2018); (7) “Laws Expanding the Pharmacist’s Role in Patient Care (CPJ, 2017); (8) “Deliberate Integration of Student Leadership Development in Doctor of Pharmacy Programs” (AJPE, 2016).
With the inception of the Mock Trial Project, Dr. Rosenberg pioneered an active learning strategy in pharmacy education which develops student competencies in both the affective and cognitive domains. The Mock Trial Project received Honorable Mention in the 2017 AACP Innovations in Teaching Competition (April 2017) based on her portfolio submission “Development, Implementation, and Lessons Learned from a Mock Trial as a Teaching and Assessment Activity in a Required Evidence-Based Practice Course.” Since then, the mock trial project has expanded to incorporate a second PharmD program (2017-2018), a “virtual” competition between two PharmD programs (2019) as well as cross-institutional collaboration between students at two pharmacy programs via Blackboard Collaborate®️ a learning management system (2019).
Lessons learned from those experiences facilitated a quick response to the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and with the sudden transition to remote-teaching/learning, a “virtual” mock trial was implemented, serving as a final course exam. The following year, a pharmacy elective featured lessons in advocacy and a virtual mock trial (2021). Continuing from this successful journey of scholarly exploration in pharmacy education, the mock trial project gained recognition and support from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Continuing Professional Development Section. In 2022, this recognition led to an inaugural AACP Mock Trial Competition, which offered an opportunity to students at all pharmacy programs to submit a letter of intent, compete in semi-final virtual mock trial; and for the two prevailing teams to face each other in-person at the AACP Annual Meeting held in July. The annual AACP Mock Trial Competition is now in its second year (2023).
