RxBriefCase: the Pharmacy Student’s Perfect Study Buddy

Happy Friday everyone!

I’ve almost completed my first week at mdBriefCase and it’s been great! Looking forward to the next 4 weeks! J

A couple of days ago I was chatting with some of my friends about their pharmacy placements and all of them said the same thing, “I need to go over my notes because I forgot a bunch of stuff that we learned in class”. For example, a customer asked one of my friends about allergy medications and which one she should take but since we covered that topic almost 2 years ago it’s kind of hard to remember. But luckily for us there’s rxBriefCase! All we have to do is log on and click on the topic we need a refresher on and voila! We are saved from the embarrassment of not being able to answer a question and our patients are the better for it. 

Unfortunately there is one issue…. Most of my pharmacy class doesn’t know about rxBriefCase! Before I started my APPE rotation here I didn’t know about it either. Having this resource would have helped a lot for our medication management classes as well as our pharmacy summer placements. But now I’m spreading the word! I posted a link to rxBriefCase to my pharmacy classes’ facebook page so that we can all take advantage of this knowledge source.

rxBriefCase is a valuable resource to have; it’ll help us get through our APPE rotations and continue being a great resource throughout our careers. Register now and gain access to a wealth of clinical knowledge for free! You also get continuing education credits for each program you complete.

Take care everyone!
