ABSTRACT

The primary objective of this project was to allow undergraduate pharmacy students to employ the skills developed in an Information Systems course within a traditional pharmacology course. As a required assignment students prepared a 20-question drug monograph. The monograph required student teams to use primary, secondary, and tertiary literature, conduct a Medline search, summarize a recent research article, and provide proper references. Thirty-five monographs were completed, with grades ranging between 80% and 100%. The students accessed information, reported the findings, and provided citations. The assignment allowed students to enhance their skills in information systems and written communications, key skills for lifelong learning, and the provision of pharmaceutical care.
