An effective method of targeted delivery of ITZ to the deep lung is presented that may be useful for the treatment and prevention of acute fungal infections.

Objective. To assess the effect of high-fidelity simulation on pharmacy students' attitudes and perceived competencies in providing end-of-life care in an interdisciplinary palliative care course. Design. Thirty pharmacy students participated in a high-fidelity simulation of the 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the death of a patient with end-stage renal disease. Assessment. Students completed the Attitudes Toward Death Survey and the End of Life Competency Survey prior to and after experiencing the simulation. A reflections journal exercise was used to capture post-simulation subjective reactions, and a course evaluation was used to assess students' satisfaction with the simulation experience. Students' post-simulation attitudes toward death significantly improved compared to pre-simulation attitudes and they felt significantly more competent to take care of dying patients. Students were satisfied with this teaching method. Conclusion. High-fidelity simulation is an innovative way to challenge pharmacy students' attitudes and help them with knowledge acquisition about end-of-life care.
