Abstract:
|
Objectives: Students enrolled in a novel writing course were evaluated to determine if their ability to utilize library research skills to choose examples of medical writing had improved due to instruction during the course. Methods: Twenty-nine students consented to participate in this prospective, blinded, matched, before and after survey consisting of six 5-point Likert scale questions. Results: There was a 69.54% increase in participant responses, 23.56% of participant responses remained the same, whereas 1.72% of responses decreased, and 5.17% of participant responses were left blank. Implications: The writing course was structured to teach writing and library research skills for utilization in Advanced Practice Pharmacy Experiences as well as future career development. Each lecture was based on an element of writing that pharmacists are involved, i.e., PowerPoint®, drug information responses written for physicians or patients, AMA referencing, peer review and copyediting medical literature, drug monographs, direct to consumer print media, ehealth information, patient pamphlets, and CVs or biosketches. Before initiation of the course students had limited ability to locate a review article using limits in PubMed, using AMA referencing, describing the difference between a case report and a letter to the editor, determine when the use of a meta-analysis would be appropriate, review and make comments on an article submitted for publication, or use the appropriate database to conduct a search. Based on the results of this survey, students were able to implement their newly learned library research skills to choose examples of appropriate medical writing. |
