## Research Question

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

## Clinical Rotation Responsibilities

- Journal Club Reviews
- Drug Information Questions
- Grand Rounds
- Research Projects
- 	-	American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) 	presentations
- 	-	Florida Pharmacy Association (FPA) presentations
- 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 $20,000

## The Future

- Possible Sources of future funding
- National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)
- Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA)
- National  Science Foundation (NSF)
- Howard Hughes Foundation
