| Abstract | This interdisciplinary teaching collaboration allowed students to develop effective critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving skills and to learn parallel thinking concepts and techniques and apply these to ethical dilemmas faced in pharmacy. P-4 pharmacy students participated in a 3-hour session that focused on Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats Method for critical thinking. Students were assigned to teams and ethical dilemmas were assigned to each team. Each team was required to agree upon a solution for each dilemma. The students’ approaches were examined before and after learning the Six Thinking Hats Method. Unstructured problem-solving approaches emphasized information gathering and brainstorming. The Six Thinking Hats Method provided a structure so groups would evaluate benefits and risks associated with proposed solutions to the dilemmas. The Six Thinking Hats Method provided a structure for group problem solving and provided a useful approach to ethical dilemmas confronted in pharmacy. |
