Presented by Judith Barr, Pharmacy Practice, Bouve College, Glenn Hazelton, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Shea Downie, Pharmacy, Bouve College, Kathy Herrlich, University Libraries and Roxanne Palmatier, University Libraries
The project partners are using mapping/GIS software and demographic, economic, and geographic data to create profiles of communities served by neighborhood pharmacies. The immediate goal is to help pharmacies develop services targeted to the health needs of local populations. The larger objective is to create a project template that can be used by other schools of pharmacy located in urban areas. Participants will discuss the evolution of the project from its conception in Pharmacy Practice through exploration of library statistical and mapping resources to collaboration with a GIS specialist in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
