Generally, I can see 4 areas you'll need/want to come up to speed on if you
are going to "create a database for ..." pretty much anything!

1) Relational database design & normalization (Access expects data
organized this way)
2) Access tricks/tips -- Access doesn't do things the same way Word or
Excel do things
3) Graphical user interface design -- if it isn't drop-dead simple to
use, it won't get used
4) Application development -- if you've never built one, how do you know
what to do?

Good luck!

Being a newbie to access, I have been given a task of creating a db for
the
patient management and tracking. This DB will have around 50 patients per
year. It will contain the history of patient's contact info, pediatrician,
case manager,Genetic center info, Insurance info and so on. I have created
the tables. pls review them and suggest me your ideas to improve the DB,
as
mine maynot be best.
