Objective: To determine the feasibility of using a validated set of assessment rubrics to assess students' critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities across a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum.
Methods: Trained faculty assessors used validated rubrics to assess student work samples for critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities. Assessment scores were collected and analyzed to determine student achievement of these 2 ability outcomes across the curriculum.
We examined whether requiring an individual readiness assurance test (iRAT) before a team readiness assurance test (tRAT) would benefit students in becoming better problem solvers in physiology. It was tested in the form of tRAT scores, the time required to complete the tRAT assignment, and individual performance on the unit examinations. Students in one section were given the iRAT at the beginning of the team-based learning session.

- Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in student athletes are often caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), highlighting a significant health risk.
- A survey of high school coaches and athletic directors in Missouri showed that 61% received MRSA education, and 32% had written guidelines for managing SSTIs, with those with guidelines reporting lower SSTI incidence.
- Referrals to school nurses or physicians for SSTIs were made by 49% of respondents, suggesting that combining educational efforts from school nurses and athletic staff could effectively reduce SSTI occurrences among student athletes.
Objective: To determine the effect patient education has on osteoporosis prevention and calcium intake has on elderly men who are at risk for developing osteoporosis.
Design: This was a prospective study in which subjects completed a Men's Osteoporosis Risk Questionnaire and watched a video on osteoporosis prevention. Subjects were then divided into groups based on osteoporosis status and contacted one month later to complete a telephone survey.
