Hello!
My name is Claudia and I'm the next 4th year to continue the chain of pharmacy students here
at mdBriefCase Group Inc.
This is my last APPE
rotation and the setting is completely new to me. Not really
knowing what to expect, I arrived excited with a slight edge of
anxious nerves. I'm fresh off 2 intense direct-patient-care hospital rotations,
so this is a drastic (and welcome!) change. As pharmacy students, we are very
accustomed to direct patient care and may forget that the pharmacy profession
incorporates a broad scope of opportunities outside direct contact with
patients. I am interested and eager to see how I can impact patient care with contributions to continuing education.
Shortly after arriving, I was introduced to the team, the company
and handed a thorough outline of what my next 5 weeks will look like. Very
exciting! For my first task, I will participate in one of the online rxBriefCase programs which I will then critically appraise. The team then works on developing ways in which it, and future programs, could be improved.
Other projects involve multiple
venues for content development with contributions to rxPassport and medSchool For You, with ongoing support from pharmacy mentor Mike.
Writing has never been a strong suit for
me, so I approach these challenges with trepidation. However, new experiences
and challenges can only improve my abilities and skill set, so I am
excited to take these on.
Reading previous blog posts by my classmates has been
entertaining, educational and fun so I hope to continue this with posts during my time here.
Stay tuned!
