In this week of rotations, I shadowed the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians at Comer’s Children Hospital Pharmacy at UCM. I learned about what the carousel is and got an opportunity to use the carousel in the pharmacy. I helped the technicians fill oral solution syringes for pediatric patients. I also shadowed the pharmacists and learned how to verify orders on Epic Systems, and worked on some pharmacist interventions. This visit helped me get a better view of the important roles of an institutional pharmacist. When I got the opportunity to see the pharmacist work on the interventions I learned that this is very important for hospital pharmacists because the pharmacists’ role is to prevent medication-related problems (MRP).
