Contemporary Pharmacy Education : Challenges For The Development Of Effective Pedagogical Strategies

Being a student in the UW nursing school, I can not only take advantage of the special classroom settings, but also the advanced technology. With classroom settings designed for active learning, it gives me opportunities to share my thoughts and ideas with other students. Instead of listening passively, we would work as a team to find out the best solution for patients. Besides, the unique state-of-the-art technology allows me to practice and apply my knowledge in a simulated hospital setting. Since every practice is recorded, I can take a look at those videos several times and self-reflect. Thus, I can correct my mistakes and improve.

We decided to use this method to convey the information, because the nurses on this floor are very busy taking care of sick patients. We felt it would be more convenient for them to look at the information, while they had a minute or two to themselves. To evaluate whether the teaching was effective, we created an evaluation sheet for the nurses to fill out. Some of the questions ask were: if the information was relevant to them in practice, how well the poster displayed the teaching data, how well the poster explained the need for injection rotation and to rate the overall teaching. Most of the nurses answered that they felt like the information was useful to them. However, there were a few that said the information was not that useful to them on that particular floor. The nurses, who did not feel the information was useful to them, thought the information would have been more useful to nurses on a regular floor such as the Medical

I have chosen to apply to UCSF School of Pharmacy because of its unique 3-year program. This accelerated, year-round program will allow me to enter advanced training or my practice earlier. The Pharm.D. program of UCSF focuses on patient care using the latest innovation and scientific developments, which will give me more opportunities to expertize my knowledge and fundamental skills, to gain clinical experience, and to prepare myself for my transition from a student to a professional in the field. In addition, the pharmacy curriculum at UCSF provides students the chance to work on in-depth projects about topics that interest them. This active learning method appeals to me because it will give me the chance to improve my critical thinking and

What do you want to do with your life? It is a question that almost everyone asks high school and college students, but for many, it is a dreaded question that is difficult to answer. For me, that wasn’t the case, as ever since my sophomore year of high school, my answer has been to become a pharmacist. My passion for pharmacy stemmed out of the opportunity to shadow a pharmacist who showed me a wide variety of career possibilities within pharmacy. I was intrigued by all the options that began on the foundation of learning science, understanding medications, and caring for patients.

Gary felt more research must be done. He proposed reaching out to all Southern Oregon Pharmacy Managers with a questionnaire. Specifically asking the question, “Would you hire a certified technician from an accredited course of instruction?”

Medication administration is not only an increasing source of civil and administrative liability for school districts, but may lead to legal questions for school counselors, psychologists, and social workers(Mazur-Mosiewicz et al, 2009). Medication and its administration in school settings by school personnel have been topics addressed by both the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and the U.S. Department of Education and the federal courts as it relates to Section §504 and the IDEA. The rulings clearly suggest that schools have little power to limit their legal responsibilities, selectively deny administration of psychoactive prescriptive medication, and delegate the service to parents(Mazur-Mosiewicz et al, 2009).

At the start of my pharmacy school career, I was encouraged to make three smart goals that I would like to accomplish during this journey. My first smart goal was to be more involved in pharmacy related activities. Going to the health screening training is one of the co‐ curricular activities that had a profound impact on my learning experience. The health screening training was done by APHA on the Palm Beach campus in the compounding lab during the Fall of 2016. The health screening training was a learning experience that aims to prepare students for a health fair event. Also, the main purpose of this event was to prepare pharmacy student on the proper way to conduct a health screening and the proper way to evaluate patients during that process.

My second introductory pharmacy practice site experience was with Walmart Pharmacy located in Crestview, Florida. The pharmacy was initially added to the Walmart Supercenters so that patients may shop while waiting for their refills. This organization is 4th leading pharmacy in the United Sates by prescription revenue. Walmart Pharmacies generate about 17.9 billion in prescription revenue annually.

Supplementary to your recent advertisement for the position of Pharmacy Technician Trainee on www.monster.com, I would like to be considered for this opportunity and enclose my résumé for review.

Faced with a trivial query of the pharmacy assistant, I should be cautious about having any irrational and judgmental plans of action. I should first recall intensively the uses of Aspirin 500mg (Cortal 500) and its toxicological effects if taken abusively than the prescribed dose. Then and there, I would know that the information I would be sharing to the patient will be of accuracy.

I will continue to develop my critical thinking and problem solving skills after graduation. I will keep myself updated with the new laws and regulations so that I do not make any mistakes during pharmacy practice. I will continue learning about new medications that come to the market so that I am able to answer appropriately when a customer has any question. I will continue demonstrating that I can perform all components of this outcome independently. For example, if I have a patient who want to fill prescription for Pradaxa and Xarelto. I will make sure with the patient to stop one as they both are blood thinner and it will be dangerous for a patient if he takes two together. Thus, from my educational experience I will continue to identify

Today in the 21st century the roles of pharmacist have expanded tremendously. Before pharmacist had the role of solely dispensing drugs. Pharmacists were limited to only being regulatory or clinical pharmacist. Back then they were called medical purveyors who were much like today’s regulatory pharmacist and hospital pharmacist who are similar to hospital pharmacist. Now pharmacists carry many roles in healthcare. Pharmacist can play roles in public health, community, health systems, state, and federal government.
