In the face of COVID-19 and Influenza outbreaks which heavily impact the health of students, staff, and faculty on college campuses nationwide, maintaining the accessibility of vaccinations in university populations has emerged as recent challenge due to healthcare staffing shortages. In this pilot study, we evaluate the feasibility of collegiate Emergency Medical Service (EMS) involvement in vaccination efforts. Collegiate EMS personnel were trained to administer intramuscular injections and clinical oversight in campus vaccine clinics was maintained by Campus Health administration.

Objectives: The objectives were (1) to measure the growth of an ADHD clinic in a college health center after the integration of clinical pharmacists and (2) to evaluate provider adherence to clinic policies and procedures before and after pharmacist integration.
Practice Description: In 2017, a pharmacist-run ADHD clinic was established at a college campus.
Objectives: The primary objectives of this study were to determine the percentage of travel recommendations accepted by individuals serviced at a university travel health clinic and to identify barriers to travel recommendation acceptance or implementation by travelers. A secondary objective was to use details regarding the identified barriers to refine travel clinic protocols.
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized an 11-item questionnaire, conducted via telephone from February 2018 to April 2018.
Little is known about gene action in the preimplantation events that initiate mammalian development. Based on cDNA collections made from each stage from egg to blastocyst, 25438 3'-ESTs were derived, and represent 9718 genes, half of them novel. Thus, a considerable fraction of mammalian genes is dedicated to embryonic expression.
