Junior Brian Hartmann publishes medical marijuana article
Junior nursing student Brian Hartmann, in collaboration with Clinical Associate Professor Teri Capriotti, DO, MSN, CRNP, RN, recently published an article titled 鈥淢edical Marijuana: What you should know鈥� in the December 2013 issue of Clinical Advisor.
Brian originally wrote the article as part of his pathophysiology course. He found the topic interesting and relevant while learning much about a side of medicine unfamiliar to him.
鈥淲hat stood out from the research is how versatile the drug is therapeutically鈥� it can be used to treat so many different conditions,鈥� notes Brian.
Publishing an article was also new territory for Brian. Though he had never worked on such a paper, Dr. Capriotti had much experience in this area and was the perfect mentor.
鈥淒r. Capriotti was really helpful guiding me and showing me how much information you really need to get before you can start writing,鈥� he explained, 鈥淲e set deadlines for drafts and had the research done early in the process which made writing the article that much easier.鈥�
The overall experience taught Brian not only about a different side of medicine but a different side of research in nursing鈥攁 side he is eager to explore again.
