title: Psychopharmacology education software. The first of a series.
abstract: A psychopharmacology testing package was generated by Multiple Choice, a Claris HyperCard 2.1 based software application. Multiple Choice was developed specifically to allow for the simple preparation of non-networked computerized testing. It permits tests of unlimited length to incorporate true/false, multiple choice (with 3-5 possible answers), and K-type questions. These examinations may incorporate explanations if desired. The tests maintain records to more easily permit the examination's creator to quickly determine scores and question-specific results. The psychopharmacology testing package is a multi-level group of three examinations. It is to be the first in a series of psychiatry exams targeting medical students, psychiatry residents, and other interested professionals. Work is also in progress to convert both the psychopharmacology testing package and Multiple Choice itself to the PC-compatible platform.
