Physician Assistant Pharmacology Education Study

We are implementing a curriculum of 6 clinical cases within the Physician Assistant Pharmacology curriculum and assessing whether or not student's learned more from case-based learning or didactic lecture teaching style. We are doing this in order to understand whether or not case-based methods for instruction should be implemented within Physician Assistant curriculum specifically in pharmacology eduction. This research will allow for more information to be gained on the topic of PA Pharmacology education in order to employ the most useful curriculum strategies for future learners.

Listening to longleaf landowners: Responding to the decline in CRP

Our study is about helping landowners bring back the longleaf pine forest, an important type of forest in the southeastern U.S. This forest is home to unique plants and animals, helps clean the air and water, and is better at handling tough weather than other forests. We want to learn why some landowners join programs that support growing these trees and why others don't. We are especially focused on understanding the challenges faced by minority landowners, like African American families with heirs' property. By listening to their stories, we hope to find ways to make these programs easier for everyone to join, so more longleaf pine forests can grow and thrive for future generations.

The use of laboratory susceptibility test results to guide treatment of infections with Mycobacterum abscessus and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria

In an effort to improve therapeutic options for treatment, this study will explore the use of research laboratory testing results to guide treatment decisions for difficult to treat Mycobacterium abscessus and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. Specific combinations of antibiotics will be tested in the laboratory, alone or in combination, to determine if those antibiotics could help with treatment of individual patients.
