The changing landscape of healthcare and recent formal Standards for innovation in pharmacy education presents a unique opportunity. To realize this opportunity, pharmacy should learn from the successes of other fields to make use of the rich environment for improvement in healthcare. The University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy presents one example of a Program that utilizes a curriculum, projects, and partners to realize innovation. Educators in pharmacy can make use of the opportunity for innovation by learning from successful examples and embracing the process’s challenges of iteration.   Type: Commentary

Pharmacist Training

Pharmacists utilize a myriad of communication methods to deliver patient care. One of the most prevalent communication methods is the telephone. The University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy created a novel instructional and assessment technique to enhance student pharmacist training experiences in telephonic communication within the PharmD curriculum.

ABSTRACTObjectives: There is evidence of association between systemic diseases and oral conditions, although it is not clear if these are direct or mediated by underlying factors such as health behaviors. The aim of this work was to evaluate whether self-reported systemic diseases were associated with caries experience.Methods: Medical history data and caries experience (DMFT and DMFS; Decayed, Missing due to caries, Filled Teeth/Surface) were obtained from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Dental Registry and DNA Repository. Information on 318 subjects (175 females and 143 males) was evaluated. Regression analysis was used to test for association between caries experience and disease status.Results: The stronger associations were found between caries experience and asthma and epilepsy. With respect to asthma, DMFT above 15 (R2 = 0.04) and DMFS above 50 (R2 = 0.02) were associated. After controlling for gender differences in asthma, the associations remained strong (R2 = 0.05 for both DMFT and DMFS). For epilepsy, DMFT above 15 (R2 = 0.18) and DMFS above 50 (R2 = 0.14) were associated.Conclusions: Asthma and epilepsy are associated with higher caries experience. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:297-303)

As a student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, my favorite courses were International Sales and International Business Transactions. The former I appreciated for nourishing my academic interest in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), while the latter I appreciated for instilling in me the tools to be a responsible transactions attorney. Learning from professors like Professor Harry Flechtner and Professor Ronald Brand, my profound interest in the CISG grew, and I realized a deep appreciation for scholarly commentary on the CISG. Herein, I discuss a book about the uniform application of the CISG, including obstacles to uniform application of the CISG.
