ORIGINAL ARTICLE
James E. De Muth, PhD A b s t r a c t During 1990, an audio cassette learning package was developed to provide pharmacists with a practical review of cell molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, and products developed through pharmaceutical biotechnology. The original program was presented as three discrete units and an updated 1992 version combined all the units into one program with additional supplemental information. During 1993, a study was undertaken to assess practitioners’ evaluations of both these programs. The response rate to the study questionnaire was 65.3%. Of the 145 total respondents: 93.1% considered the program to be a valuable learning experience; 85.7% considered the method a convenient and time saving means for professional continuing education; and 84.1% indicated that they would recommend the program to a colleague. Regarding the mechanics of the program, pharmacists agreed: (1) that course materials were presented in sufficient detail (94.5%); (2) with the quality of the audio cassettes (95.8%), printed materials (95.8%), and review check tests (81.9%); and (3) with the easy accessibility of an audio cassette tape recorder (95.9%). There were no significant differences in the evaluations based on which of the courses the respondents completed.
