The purpose of this research study is to better understand the predictors of the activities that people like to do after work. Using this information, we hope to determine factors that may improve individual's well-being in their personal lives.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy (ESOP) Master of Science (MS) in Pharmaceutical Science with a specialization in Health-System Pharmacy Administration (HSPA) has on graduates and their career while also assessing the impact key curriculum requirements (e.g., projects, presentations, research, etc.) have on graduates practice site and the profession. Successful completion of this project will inform further curriculum improvement, inform programmatic design, and produce key data pivotal in the continued recruitment for the program. Most significantly, it will ensure the UNC ESOP continues to produce exceptional MS graduates capable of leading and advancing the profession of pharmacy.
Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) or Hunter syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduoronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. This study will evaluate the long-term use of DNL310, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body and to break down the stored GAGs. DNL310 uses specific technology to cross the blood brain barrier so that the enzyme can get into the brain. DNL310 is expected to help both the cognitive (brain) and body effects of MPS II. This is an extension study to two current DNL310 clinical trials; only participants currently enrolled in these trials will have the opportunity to participate in this long-term study.
We are studying symptoms and experiences of patients with undiagnosed bleeding disorders with surveys. Patients will also be able to provide a blood sample for research
To assess if a facilitated curriculum using fine art improves clinical reasoning skills and tolerance of ambiguity in Internal Medicine interns.
We are studying the accuracy and utility of two inexpensive, homemade procedure simulators.
The purpose of this study is to discover the practice pattern of surgeons who have been board-certified in complex general surgical oncology. The study will help determine the best approach for re-certification examinations.
This study aims to evaluate student perceptions of the newly implemented Objective Structured Clinical Examination during their Application Phase Pediatrics rotation.
This project seeks to study the history and present impacts of UNC on surrounding communities. The purpose is to understand the impact that the university has had historically and in the present, for instance on Native communities whose land UNC resides on (or has profited from the sale of), and people who were enslaved from or who otherwise have contributed or contribute now to the building and maintenance of the university. This will be part of the classes of Danielle Purifoy and Sara Smith, where students will take up questions generated by community members. It will also include undergraduate and graduate students who wish to participate.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the attitudes and perceptions student teachers have of their fieldwork placement. Moreover, in understanding their attitudes and perceptions, we can better understand the relationship between attitudes and perceptions with programmatic outcomes (graduation, licensure, etc.).
