Abstract Background and Purpose Development of core concepts in disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology physiology have transformed teaching. They provide the foundation for development teaching resources global educators, well valid reliable approaches to assessment. An international research consensus recently identified 25 pharmacology. The current study aimed define unpack these concepts. Experimental Approach A two‐phase, iterative approach, involving 60 pharmacology education...
Both educators and graduates have expressed concern about a perceived pharmacology knowledge gap that includes difficulty applying fundamental principles to clinical research problems. Consequently, we sought determine the extent which current students can explain meaning of, appropriately apply, subset of core concepts, identify any misconceptions arising from responses. Of twenty-four concepts recent international collaboration, four pharmacokinetic were chosen, namely drug...
Background and Purpose In recent decades, a focus on the most critical fundamental concepts has proven highly advantageous to students educators in many science disciplines. Pharmacology, unlike microbiology, biochemistry, or physiology, lacks consensus list of such core . Experimental Approach We sought develop research‐based, globally relevant that all completing foundational pharmacology course should master. This two‐part project consisted exploratory refinement phases. The phase...
The Core Concepts of Pharmacology (CCP) initiative is developing educational resources to transform pharmacology education into a concept-based approach. This study evaluated the quality global educator-created MCQs in generating items for concept inventory (PCI) instrument and developed as resource learning fundamental concepts. A panel 22 experts recruited from CCP research team participated MCQ pilot database design evaluation. analysis framework included four assessment tools: item...
<h3>Objective</h3> This paper explores the issues that arise from discussion of administering rescue medication to children who experience prolonged convulsive seizures in mainstream schools UK. <h3>Situation analysis</h3> Current guidelines recommend immediate treatment with such (defined as lasting more than 5 min) prevent progression status epilepticus and neurological morbidity. As are unconscious during seizures, whether or not they receive their time depends on presence a teacher other...
A novel robust chiral gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method for the separation and measurement of fluoxetine norfluoxetine enantiomers in urine plasma was developed.The drug extracted from samples by a liquid-liquid technique, using chloroform, were separated measured on chromatographic column (HYDRODEX β-6TBDM(®), 0.25 μm × mm 50 m). GC/MS instrumentation used acquisition data electron impact selective-ion monitoring mode.The ions chosen mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) exactly...
Sharing and developing digital educational resources open has been proposed as a way to harmonize improve clinical pharmacology therapeutics (CPT) education in European medical schools. Previous research, however, shown that there are barriers the adoption implementation of resources. The aim this study was determine perceived opportunities use creation among CPT teachers possible solutions for these barriers.
To investigate knowledge of medicines and sources information about among adolescents in Malta.A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey attending secondary schools Malta. A random stratified sample design generated a size 514 students. Knowledge investigated by questions that included topics the efficacy medicines, proper communication during medical consultation, safety antibiotic use pictograms.The analytical sample, which 53.8% were girls, made up 474 students, aged 1416...
Objective: To investigate self-reported health complaints and the use of medicines among adolescents in Malta.Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey complaints, sources that had been accessed, during preceding 3 months attending secondary schools Malta.A stratified random sample design generated a size 514 students.The were investigated included ear problems/hay fever/cold/cough, headache, skin problems, sport injuries, indigestion/diarrhoea/constipation, eye problems...
