Research Question

Did the orientation and utilization of the NLM databases enhance pharmacy student research skills during clinical rotations?

Community Health Fairs and Patient Educational posters

Study Design

Test subjects: 108 3rd prof. year pharmacy students

Control group: 62 students did not receive NLM training

Test group: 46 students received NLM training during

Drug Information course.

Outcome Measurements

Students will be surveyed at the conclusion of clinical rotations (prior to graduation)

Measurements: Level of difficulty in finding-- full text articles- consumer information- clinical trial information- sources used for HIV/AIDS consultations

During “final week” prior to graduation, remaining 62 pharmacy students will be trained

Benefits

Impact on lives of Nims Students “I don’t want to be fat when I get old.” “I want to be like Barry Bonds and he eats

healthy.” “I don’t want diabetes like my grandmother.

They had to cut off her leg.” “It’s not fair that black people get more sick.” “I can help my mom with her medication.” “Hey, what’s an adverse reaction?” “This is cool!”

Benefits

Impact on FAMU COPPS faculty/staff “I already use MEDLINEplus in my class,

but I didn’t know about all of this.” “Can you teach a segment of my

Research Course (Public Health graduate students) this summer, they can really benefit from this.”

“I teach Drug Information and didn’t know all of this was available.”

Benefits

Impact on pharmacy students

“Now I know how to find a full text article.” “This is good for explaining things to

patients.” “Do they really do clinical trials in

Tallahassee?” “Everyone can benefit from AIDSinfo… from

patients to clinicians.”

Benefits

Impact on patients of the BCHC

This is yet to be determined. Patients are hungry for health information and we anticipate a high level of enthusiasm for the project.

Hind Sight

Don’t try to reach everyone this time

Plan to do project in phases Utilize committed public librarians

to assist with training Be realistic about the elasticity of
