Hello rxBriefCase,
My name is
Puja Modi and I am a final year student at the University of Toronto - Leslie
Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. Like many students that preceded me, I am here completing a 5-week
rotation as part of my Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE)
placements. These APPE
rotations have offered me opportunities to apply my knowledge and gain
experience that will help me with my future pharmacy career.
No matter where I
end up, I know that continuing education will always be a part of my career, as
it is very important to stay up to date. This rotation will allow me to understand
the landscape of CE in Canada, accreditation standards of the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP), and the role of pharmacists in CE
development. I will also have the opportunity to refine my critical analysis
and medical writing skills. I will be improving these skills by completing a
critical appraisal of a CE program, writing an eNewsletter, developing a module
for MedSchoolForYou and continuing to blog on my experiences and trending
topics in the pharmacy world.
Some random facts about me:
- I love to travel - my most memorable trips were to India (3 months) and Europe (3 weeks)
- Hobbies of mine include dancing, photography and NETFLIX (next show: Stranger Things)
- I am a big foodie who is constantly eating – I am always open to suggestions for the best places to dine in Toronto
Keep an eye out
for my next post!
