School of Pharmacy PDA Initiative
Palm T|X
We are pleased to provide 2nd year pharmacy students with Palm T|X personal digital
assistants (PDAs) and Lexi-Comp OnHand. Providing students with drug information
resources and a personal digital assistant will allow them the opportunity to familiarize
themselves with the technology and the various resources that are available to support
clinical decision making. The use of personal digital assistants within the curriculum
will enhance student learning and organization as well as prepare students to be
more competitive in a technology-driven workplace.
