Hospital Seminar
During the month September, I only visited my mentor once for the interview. Beforehand I had accidentally walked in on the last half of a seminar titled "Safe Compounding." Afterwards I met Dr. Campbell for my interview, and, very briefly, talked about how I could come mentor in the morning with other pharmacy students doing patient and rotation rounds.
Independent Component 1 Approva
1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
I plan to attend a couple seminars for safe pharmaceutical practices because the one I walked in on was very informative, and going on rotation rounds (visiting other hospital departments to check on patients, restock medicine, identify which medicines have been labeled improperly, etc.) with other college pharmacy students. Since I am not able to physically touch medicine or patient records, I will act as an observer and take notes.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I think I answered the question in my first statement, but to reiterate, I will take notes on observing the students, bring any available pamphlets from seminars, and ask my mentor if I may take a couple of pictures of some of the equipment he has shown me.
3. And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
My topic, pharmacy, is very broad so I am trying to narrow it down to clinical pharmacy. Going on rotation rounds will allow me to observe how a hospital is run, going with college level pharmacists will allow me to observe the process I must go through to become a pharmacist, and the seminars will give me information on how more effective and safer this occupation could be. Collectively, I hope to explore the impact pharmacy has on other departments of the hospital and its affect on patients.
