Three weeks went by in a blink of
an eye. After receiving few ‘urgent’ reminders from my faculty to complete the
midpoint evaluations, I thought this would be the perfect time to recap
everyone about what I’ve been up to so far.
Overall, my tasks during the 5
week rotation at mdBriefCase can be broken down to 2 main categories:
- Critical appraisal of one of the CCCEP-accredited eCME program on http://www.rxbriefcase.com.
- Content development for practicing pharmacists and patients.
For my critical appraisal, I
chose the eCME on Considerations
in the Selection of Pharmacotherapy for ADHD. I am in the midst of analyzing
the various aspects of the program as well as the national participation report
to find key strengths and weaknesses. I’ll be presenting on my findings towards
the end of my rotation.
In terms of content development,
I’ve been knee-deep in writing an eNewsletter, which will be sent out
nation-wide to practicing pharmacists across Canada. Although my draft is not
yet finished and available for viewing, past eNewsletters can be found at rxPassport.
I’m also working on a mini Q&A on the patient education portal, MedSchool
For You: Pharmacy Corner.
Last but not least, I’ve been given the lovely opportunity
to complete the Certificate-level training of my choice on Advancing Practice. I
chose to go over the diabetes education program since this will be a handy-dandy
review before I start practicing as a pharmacist.
No complaints so far! Looking forward to spending 2 more
exciting weeks at mdBriefCase!
