The pharmacy technician application takes forty-five days to be processed and requires a $140 non-refundable application fee (Pharmacy Technician Application Instructions, 2017). The basic education requirement needed is only a high school diploma or an equivalent like a general education development…
Deontological Study of Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Advertising May 10, 2001, a semi-truck rolls down Interstate 71 carrying a load of steel headed for Detroit. The driver, a 49 year old healthy man with a touch of arthritis, drinks his tea and listens to the radio and he rumbles down the highway. Shifting gears ca be hard on a man with arthritis in the knees, so his physician prescribed the well-advertised drug Vioxx. Phil had seen Dorothy Hamill advertise the drug on television, and…
My first Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) was at Walmart Pharmacy, in Quincy, Florida, under the directorship of Dr. Sharonda McNeil, Pharmacy Manager and Dr. Amr Asker, Staff Pharmacist.

It’s scary to think that many patients could be receiving the wrong medication or wrong dose of a medication even after three to five providers verified the medication. If Kelsey’s parents had not been by her bedside, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, they perhaps wouldn’t have known…
herbal supplement that I had been taking simultaneously to a local owned pharmacy; and asked if there were any drug interactions. The help I received was tremendous. The encounter made me want to understand the mechanism of drugs and the way our bodies metabolize drugs. After I discovered my interest in pharmacology, I changed my major from Biological Sciences to Pharmaceutical sciences to help me better prepare for pharmacy school. I work in Dr. Michael Kleinman’s Environmental Toxicity…

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.
