PDA Information

The School of Pharmacy and Health Professions began its PDA initiative the summer of 2003. Each third year pharmacy student received a personal digital assistant in addition to a refresh of the laptop computer they received as a first year pharmacy student. Each PDA includes two drug databases. During the students' third year in the pharmacy program they are introduced to the drug databases. During their fourth year they will use their PDAs in a practice setting during some of their clinical rotations.

I just want to let you know the Clinical Pharmacology OnHand IP site for Creighton University College of Pharmacy is up and running. Your users will now be able to visit the CP OnHand site, http://www.cponhand.gsm.com/, and download the latest Clinical Pharmacology OnHand version without logging in! We are recognizing your IP address range for CP OnHand, as we do for CP Online access, which will allow users to bypass the log-in process, and hopefully make downloading the updates much more convenient. You may even want to put the http://www.cponhand.gsm.com/ link up where it can be easily accessed, along with the http://www.cpip.gsm.com/ link. The CP Online and CP OnHand IP sites will allow for access through February of 2005.

Users also have the option to “update automatically on active sync”, to have the CP OnHand updates synchronized to their PDA each day when the PDA is synched into the cradle. This is another step we are taking toward providing the most up-to-date electronic drug information available. I hope this feature will be helpful to the users at Creighton.
