About
Sean Alcorn is a pharmacy education innovator whose work focuses on adapting assessment and simulation technologies for the health professions. His most notable contribution emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he pioneered the repurposing of asynchronous video interview software to deliver virtual Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs)—a critical need when in-person clinical assessments became impossible. His 2021 paper on this approach, which has garnered 4 citations, provides a practical, scalable model for maintaining rigorous competency evaluation in pharmacy curricula under crisis conditions. Alcorn’s research sits at the intersection of educational technology, assessment design, and clinical pedagogy, addressing how digital tools can preserve experiential learning outcomes when traditional settings are unavailable. His work has been particularly influential among pharmacy educators seeking evidence-based strategies for remote OSCE delivery, and it continues to inform post-pandemic hybrid assessment models. By demonstrating that asynchronous video can effectively evaluate clinical skills, Alcorn has helped shape a more resilient, flexible approach to health professions education—one that balances authenticity with accessibility in an increasingly digital learning landscape.
