Describes a sequential training curriculum in the use of telescopic visual aids. Covers 29 topics, including aid maintenance, holding aid properly, focusing, scanning, target location, tracking, aid use for city bus travel, in a shopping center, and in a fast food type restaurant. For each topic gives specific objective of the training, procedure to follow, and questions for use in evaluating student performance.

La sempre maggiore conoscenza fisiopatologica delle malattie non deve escludere la realtà antropologica del malato dal momento che la medicina ha una finalità terapeutico-assistenziale rivolta proprio al malato. Alla luce di queste considerazioni gli Autori mettono in luce l’importanza delle Medical Humanities anche nei Corsi di Laurea in Farmacia. Il farmacista infatti può essere un legame importante tra medico e paziente; può contribuire all’adesione del malato alla terapia e, dunque, il suo ruolo ha una implicazione etico-antropologica che non può essere sottovalutata. ---------- The Authors present their thoughts on the importance of the Humanities in pharmacy education. They underline how the Humanities contribute not only to the physician’s personal education and his or her clinical training but also to the pharmacist’s personal education. The Humanities have the ability to influence pharmacy student as a whole person: intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. In particular, great literature, art, history, can help professionals to develop and sustain professionalism. As students think about and empathize with the dilemmas that characters in these stories face, they come to better understand their patients, as well as themselves.

Poor performance in foundational science courses, which are usually taken during the first or second year of pharmacy school, can have several negative consequences including increases in student drop-out rates and increases in the number of dismissals and remediating students. The primary goal of the current study was to determine whether completion of a pre-pharmacy biochemistry course and/or performance on a biochemistry competency test (administered at the beginning of the pharmacy program) are associated with pharmacy student performance in foundational science courses and overall academic performance. A secondary goal was to determine whether performance in pre-pharmacy courses and/or student demographics are associated with pharmacy student performance. Prospective univariate analyses (n = 75) determined that completion of a pre-pharmacy biochemistry course is not associated with pharmacy student performance. However, performance on a biochemistry competency test was associated with performance in Biochemistry and Cell&Molecular Biology (p = 0.002). Furthermore, post-hoc analyses determined that pre-pharmacy cumulative chemistry GPA correlates with performance in both the Biochemistry and Cell&Molecular Biology and Medicinal Chemistry foundational science courses (p = 0.002 and p = 0.04, respectively) and can predict first year GPA (p = 0.002). The combined data indicate that further assessment of the impact of pre-pharmacy competency in biochemistry and chemistry on pharmacy student success is warranted.
