Drug information questions for PSL-2 in Prezi

I have finally found a good use for Prezi, a zoom presentation tool that I have posted about previously.  For the second year pharmacy student drug information lecture I created a Prezi around a drug information question.  This allowed non-linear paths through the information (cf with Powerpoint slides).  The class dictated which information to reveal next, they could not be influenced by "the instructors next slide is ____, therefore this must be the next step".  It worked quite well, and I think I will be using Prezi again.

Are clonazepam wafers available?

Is azithromycin safe in pregnancy?

Is there a drug interaction between risperidone and simvastatin?

Systematic Approach to Drug Information - BC DPIC

In a previous post I uploaded my Principles of Drug Information lecture for 1st year pharmacy students at the University of Manitoba.  This year, as I am preparing for the 2nd and 3rd year lectures, I came across this four part video on YouTube from BC DPIC (Drug and Poison Information Centre, Vancouver, BC).

After a quick scan, the content of these videos seems to be very similar to the lecture that I gave.  It is good to know that DI centres seem to be on the same page.  Wouldn't it be nice if everyone shared presentations like this. It doesn't make sense that there are multiple DI pharmacists creating essentially the same presentation from scratch!  Thank you DPIC.

SlideShare

SlideShare is a free web based tool allowing publication and sharing of presentations. Presentations can be uploaded from Powerpoint, Open Office, and PDF presentations. Presentations can then be shared, either publicly or privately. I have uploaded my lecture for first year pharmacy students, this could be useful, eliminating the need to print handouts for the students. Slideshare could also be useful for staff education, if a podcast is added to the slideshow, it could be viewed as a stand alone presentation.
