of Research: |
The objective of my research is to develop an assessment that yields
valid inferences about how doctor of pharmacy students will practice
the highest level of patient care associated with the delivery of
pharmaceutical care in the self-care arena. This will be achieved
through an empirically validated authentic assessment model using
real, simulated patients where the targets of learning (i.e., cognition)
and skill performance are linked to an observation model (observed
simulated clinical examination). The results of this study will provide
evidence of students’ competencies that will be confirmed through
a robust psychometric measurement model (Rasch model). The findings
of this research are intended to provide information and a testing
strategy that will facilitate the promotion of student competency
and provide recommendations for curricular improvements to schools/colleges
of pharmacy. |

With the advent of the Internet and large numbers of books available
on health related topics, patients have more access than ever to information
to assist them in self-management. My research is looking at whether
mass media communication’s ‘knowledge gap hypothesis’
(Tichenor, Donohue, Olien 1965) applies to personal health information
seeking in the pharmacy arena. |

The ultimate goal of my proposed work is to correlate plasmid DNA
degradation rates to strain rates in a fashion that creates general
guidelines by which DNA processing systems can be modified in order
to minimize loss of final product while maintaining biological activity.
Once this has been determined, I will apply this knowledge to improved
recovery and biological activity of DNA associated with the use of
aerosalization systems (ie. nebulizers, pressure atomizers, elector
sprayers). |
