Write Reflection Here:: Every since I started pharmacy school I planned on working in community pharmacy. I have been wanting to be a pharmacist since I was a little kid since it was so close to home. This experience made me that much more certain that I am in the right career path. It was amazing working in this place and the people working there couldnt have been nicer. Two events that which made me reaffirmed this was one was the call which i was previusly mention where I spoke with a nurse in order to do give her the full medication list. As previously stated, this was very rewarding for me. The other event would be in the last week when I finally knew enough about the otc isle infront and I could some people that were asking question. I enjoyed a lot interaction with the patients which is why I felt that was missing when doing my IPPE institutional. Overall, great experience and super kind and welcoming staff.

Write Reflection Here:: I had a call with a nurse in order to give her a full list of a patient in common medications. We went through every medication and i told her the name, the dose and the frequency it was taken. I also spoke about the last time the patient pick it up. It felt really exciting cause i was finally doing something which i was taught about so much in pharmacy school. This was a very positive experience, though i did have some nerves, I did end up helping the nurse and it felt very rewarding. I felt this way cause I was finally putting into practice the knowledge I was taught in pharmacy school. It felt like all the effort i put in school was worth it. I plan to pursue community pharmacy further in my career path. I really enjoyed my overall exerience in this cvs and wish I could end up working in a place like that one day.

Administraton: Buisness plan reflection
We choose the 4th opportunity, I like this one because I felt like it will be the closest to my future career and the most helpful for me. That opportunity had to do with being a regional pharmacy supervisor of a small chain of community pharmacies, and  I plan to fo into community pharmacy right after graduating. Our team dynamics were that complicated, we should group up together and decide what to do while throwing out ideas. After we choose which idea to do, we divided every section and everybody choose 2-3 parts to do. We then made a Google doc so we can all work in the same document and see what each of us is doing.  The biggest challenge was definitely picking a good idea. In the beginning, no idea came to me and we took a while to choose something to do. While creating a business plan, I had to think and research a lot about entrepreneurship and how marketing works. Even though I haven't employed these skills it definitely helps to practice them while writing this business plan. In the future, If I every do make it to work as a supervisor in a chain of community pharmacies then the skills I have learned in class and put into practice while making this business plan will definitely be very useful 230428054215_Hamed_Reflection_Questions_2023_2_1_.docx (.docx) 0.19mb

QPR gatekeeper training for student pharmacies

I discovered that QPR training was helpful for realizing my professional limitations as well as for growing in self-awareness. I now have a better understanding of my own prejudices and presumptions, which will enable me to support people who are struggling more skillfully.

 

I had a great time throughout the QPR training as a prospective healthcare practitioner. I can now recognize patient suicide warning signals and make the required referrals to mental health specialists because of the training.

 

In addition to helping me in my future as a healthcare professional, I think this training will also enable me to support friends and family members who may be in need. I can use the QPR training I received to improve both my personal and professional relationships.

 

Overall, I am appreciative of how QPR training has aided in my own development. I've gained the ability to face challenging circumstances with understanding and compassion because of this training, and I've also learned how crucial it is to ask for help when you need it.

 

I intend to keep honing my abilities in mental health and suicide prevention in the future. I really believe that more individuals ought to participate in this training.

Overview of Masters and PhD Programs

By knowing about the several PhD and Master's degrees that may be completed in addition to a PharmD, I have been able to reaffirm the professional attitudes and values expected of pharmacists. To pursue these higher degrees, one must have a strong commitment to the pharmaceutical industry and a drive to continuously improve one’s knowledge and skills. The importance of continuous education and professional development, both of which are necessary for being a successful and well-respected pharmacist, has been highlighted by this. I believe that in order to gain the trust of patients and other healthcare providers, pharmacists must demonstrate a variety of crucial attitudes and actions. One of the most important is a commitment to patient-centered care. Pharmacists must be able to engage with patients effectively, pay attention to their concerns, and work together with other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive the best care possible. Integrity is another important quality. In all of their professional dealings, pharmacists are required to conduct themselves honestly, openly, and in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Keeping patient information private, avoiding conflicts of interest, and being open about any potential biases or constraints in their practice are all examples of this. Another important factor in building confidence in pharmacists is professionalism. This entails being dependable, prompt, and considerate to coworkers, clients, and other medical professionals. Pharmacists must be prepared to accept accountability for their actions, admit wrongdoing, and look for chances to better themselves. To build trust with a wide spectrum of patients, pharmacists must also exhibit crucial behaviors and attitudes such as cultural competency and compassion. Being able to successfully interact with patients from various cultural backgrounds as well as being aware of and respectful of various cultural ideas and customs are part of this. All things considered, knowing about the many PhD and Master's degrees that may be finished in addition to a PharmD has reaffirmed the significance of these attitudes and values in the pharmacy industry. By upholding these principles, pharmacists can build trust with patients another medical professionals and help to enhance everyone's health outcomes.

Breast cancer Walk
The breast cancer walk assisted me in honing my leadership skills. I persuade a few friends to participate in the cancer walk with me and raise awareness. As a leader, I was able to have a positive effect on my community. I was able to get some family members to contribute a small amount of money as well. When I was in high school, I had the opportunity to work in teams and hone my leadership abilities. I served as the chess team president, planning activities to recruit new players and hosting competitions. This has helped me hone and strengthen my leadership abilities. The personal trait that counts most to a leader is empathy. To be able to support your team, you must be able to comprehend their difficulties. A leader without empathy would be unable to decide what is best for the team as a whole. Breast cancer walk co curricular (.doc) 0.02mb
