Presently, we have information on approximately 300 drugs. This component was created by our medical school students taking Pharmacology in 1994-1995. The third component is a collection of interactive exam questions on all topics taught in our course. We currently have over 120 questions on-line. Users of this component of ISAP are given a choice as to the topics on which they wish to be tested as well as the number of questions per topic.
All questions are multiple choice.
When the question is answered correctly the student is shown the explanations for all the answers and is presented with an overview of the question. Questions regarding specific drug information are linked to the drug reference section. A rudimentary record-keeping system is in place for users to track their performance. At a later date we will seek funding to develop a series of interactive clinical cases with links to the other data at the ISAP site. As ISAP grew we made it available to all students, faculty and staff at universities throughout the United States and to other interested health professionals and students throughout the world.
