Objective: Describe a mobile health clinic program led by pharmacists to provide services in a primary care shortage area. Methods: ONU HealthWise is a comprehensive pharmacy service offered by Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy with a mobile clinic initiated in 2015. ONU HealthWise is located in an HRSA-designated medically underserved and primary care shortage area and the mobile health clinic visits 11–18 locations monthly plus additional sites for screening or vaccinations. Medical residents from a health-system attend some locations and collaborative practice agreements allow pharmacists to initiate and adjust medications. Student pharmacists rotate through the mobile clinic to gain experiential training toward their Doctor of Pharmacy. The mobile clinic is an integral part of the learning and precepting for ONU HealthWise PGY-1 residents. Results: Over a 12-month period (July 2024–June 2025), the mobile clinic held 148 clinics across 7 rural counties in northwest Ohio. A total of 1265 screenings were conducted at 713 patient encounters (604 unique patients). Of the screenings, 38.1% of blood glucose, 21.6% of cholesterol, and 60.1% of blood pressures were abnormal. All abnormal tests resulted in either a medication adjustment, scheduled follow-up at future mobile clinic, or referral to a provider. Student pharmacists spent more than 3670 h on the mobile health clinic in experiential education. Conclusion: Pharmacists can be an integral healthcare provider by increasing access to primary care services through a mobile health clinic in a medically underserved area. The service provides learners with vital patient experiences.

Pharmacy calculations are a crucial skill set in patient care. In an effort to improve best practices in teaching, identifying student cognitive abilities may impact their performance is critical in identifying students needing additional support to reach competency in this area. This study sought to examine the relationship between growth mindset and math confidence on pharmacy student performance on a comprehensive, must-pass pharmaceutical calculations exam. This study was conducted in fall semesters between 2022 and 2024. 212 PharmD students completed the Dweck Mindset Instrument and an Attitudes in Mathematics scale prior to, and after, participation in a required pharmaceutical calculations course. At the end of the course, students took a comprehensive, must-pass calculations exam. Student growth mindset and attitudes towards mathematics were compared to their results on the comprehensive calculations exam. There was no meaningful change in Growth Mindset or Mathematics Attitude from pre-course to post-course. There was a significant correlation of Mathematics Attitude with calculations exam performance, but there was no correlation between student growth mindset and exam performance. Student confidence regarding mathematics did directly correlate with their performance on the calculations exam. Student belief that they can generally improve their abilities and knowledge (growth mindset) did not have an association with their performance on a high-stakes, calculations exam. Further research is needed to determine if math performance impacts their feelings on the subject of mathematics, or if vice versa.
