Dual characterization of the Dieudonne-Schwartz theorem on bounded sets

The Dieudonné-Schwartz Theorem on bounded sets in a strict inductive limit is investigated for non-strict inductive limits. Its validity is shown to be closely connected with the problem of whether the projective limit of the strong duals is a strong dual itself. A counter-example is given to show that the Dieudonné-Schwartz Theorem is not in general valid for an inductive limit of a sequence of reflexive, Fréchet spaces

An Elective Course to Train Student Pharmacists to Deliver a Community-based Group Diabetes Prevention Program

Objective. To develop and assess the impact of an elective course aimed at improving student knowledge of and confidence in delivering a group diabetes prevention program. Design. Two colleges of pharmacy collaborated to develop a 2-credit elective course using didactic and active-learning strategies to prepare students to serve as lifestyle coaches offering a proven group diabetes prevention program. Assessment. Students' confidence in their ability to deliver a group diabetes prevention program increased as a result of the class. However, their knowledge of diabetes prevention facts was unchanged from baseline. Conclusion. A diabetes prevention elective course improved students' confidence in their ability to teach a diabetes prevention program
