- Summary:
-
The project described in this report was designed to: (1) address the lack of adequately trained faculty members needed to introduce geriatrics within colleges of pharmacy, (2) facilitate the use of existing materials within the educational program provided pharmacy students, (3) teach a geriatric pharmacy course twice at each of Texas' three colleges of pharmacy in 1989, (4) evaluate course effects on students' attitudes, knowledge, and ability to serve as pharmacotherapeutic consultants to physicians and patients, and (5) devise a plan to assess former course takers' and physicians' interactions that may lower patient risk of adverse drug reactions. Among project achievements was development and presentation of a geriatric pharmacy course 5 times to a total of 107 third- and fourth-year pharmacy students at the 3 schools. Major products included: a documented process for institutional development in geriatrics, a strategy for the adaptation of existing instructional resources in geriatrics for use in colleges of pharmacy, a cadre of faculty members prepared to present geriatric information to pharmacy students, and published monographs and manuscripts describing the curriculum and faculty development process. Positive changes in student attitude toward older people were also effected. Extensive appendixes include quarterly progress reports, the course outlines, the attitude survey, and statistical data. Contains 54 references. (DB)
