Bioremediation

Bioremediation

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

H J Knopke, R S Northrup, J A Hartman

|November 14, 1986

Summary

The Biomedical Sciences Preparation Program (BioPrep) successfully improved academic performance and career choices for rural students. This initiative aims to increase the number of healthcare professionals serving underserved Alabama communities.

Area of Science:

Health Professions Education
Rural Health Disparities
Medical School Applicant Pipeline Development

Background:

Physician maldistribution is a significant issue in Alabama and the Southeast region.
Rural and disadvantaged students often face barriers to entering pre-health professional programs.
A need exists to cultivate a future healthcare workforce committed to rural practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of the Biomedical Sciences Preparation Program (BioPrep) on rural, disadvantaged high school students.
To assess BioPrep's effectiveness in preparing students for college and pre-health curricula.
To foster motivation among participants to return to rural Alabama as healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

The University of Alabama implemented the BioPrep program in five rural high schools.

Project students were academically and socially supported to enhance college readiness.

Student performance was compared against two control groups using standardized testing and career choice data.

Main Results:

BioPrep students demonstrated significantly higher achievement on the American College Testing Program (ACT).
Participants were more likely to choose professional careers earlier and more frequently than control groups.
Career choice patterns among BioPrep students approximated those of medical and premedical students.

Conclusions:

The BioPrep program effectively enhances academic achievement and career aspirations in rural, disadvantaged students.
This initiative shows promise for increasing the pool of qualified applicants from rural backgrounds into health professions.
BioPrep may serve as a model for addressing physician shortages in underserved rural areas.
