Moreover, Since Core pharmacy practice experience (CPPE) rotations which was completed at the end of the First year of pharmacy school just introduce me the for me to the diversity in pharmacy Practices.

    I recently had the chance to listen to an entertaining lecture by Dr. Wes Pilkington. As he began talking, I could tell that his speech was going to be somewhat different than those I had heard before him. While he did not do a residency and was not extensively involved in leaderships roles like many of our other speakers, he has still found success after graduation. Although these activities are both important, he highlighted the significance of our rotations. He also offered us a unique perspective on the dangers of pharmacy, as he was the victim of a pharmacy robbery.…

    My second IPPE’s rotation was actually the first one for the semester since I did the Kroger health screening for my first IPPE’s rotation. Doctor Depen, my preceptor was very welcoming and he introduced me to the other associates as their pharmacy intern for at least the next approximately four months. He went ahead to asses my prior knowledge in retail pharmacy by asking me what experience I bring on board. Being a pharmacy technician at Walmart for four years was enough for him to jump me straight to simple identification of medications and their therapeutic indication. He went ahead to invite me to observe him as he interacted with patients on medication counseling.…

    Unfortunately, I was not able to accomplish a shadowing experience as I had hoped to this past year. However, I did join the Student College of Clinical Pharmacy (SCCP) in September 2017 to help me attain this academic goal. The purpose of this organization is to provide information to pharmacy students about career paths and d opportunities within the field of clinical pharmacy. With that said, time management as a new pharmacy student has been an ongoing learning process this year and knew some things had to be prioritized more than others; therefore, I do believe this goal is where I fell short. Hence, I hope to be able to attend more SCCP meetings next year as well as work with the SCCP president to obtain a shadowing experience at a local…

    As I sat anxiously in my desk the last day of high school, I felt compelled and overwhelmed to decide what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare because of my mother, who was a registered nurse. Witnessing the love and care my mother had for every patient even when she was not on the clock really inspired the drive for me to impact the lives of others just as I saw her do. Although after I shadowed one of my mother’s colleagues, I knew I could not handle the gory aspects that are associated with most healthcare professions; however, this shadowing experience led me to discover my initial desire to help others and make a difference. I owe my foremost interest in pursuing a career in pharmacy to my paternal grandparents.…

    Reflection On Professional Organizations I have been conducting research on some professional organizations and I have determined that ASHP would be a good match for me. This is because ASHP is an organization that is heavily involved in advocating legislation to benefit pharmacists, patients, and the health care system. Some of the most important issues to me are getting the pharmacist more involved in a patient’s health care and to make health care in general more efficient. ASHP is attempting to accomplish these tasks by actively advocating legislation to meet their goals.…
