Health and Wellness Project Template
Date: 08/17/2022
Rotation Type: Community APPE
Comments:  
Description of project- Includes objectives, location, personnel, time frame and any advertising. Also includes description of any materials used such as: audio and visual aids, PowerPoints, handouts, pamphlets, and/or educational materials disseminated (Please also upload in CORE, if applicable).: Educate patients and coworkers about the new COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States and how they are different from the other COVID-19 vaccines. Compare and explain the mechanisms of the different COVID-19 vaccines. At Kelly's pharmacy Mostly verbal communication. Visual aids, and a brief fact sheet
Required for each Project. Please check that your projects meets "Health and Wellness" - The graduate must be able to design prevention, intervention, and educational strategies for individuals and communities to manage chronic disease and improve health and wellness.: Yes
Brief statement for each of the standards addressed by the project to show how the standard was addressed by this H&W project (I.e. "Advocacy: The project met the advocacy standard by..": Health literacy: Help patients and coworkers understand the key differences between the vaccines. Help coworkers decide if the pharmacy should carry the new Novavax vaccine based on safety and efficacy. Patient individualization: Some patients do not trust the mRNA vaccines. Some patients may prefer a protein subunit vaccine over a viral vector or mRNA. Also, if the vaccine is not as safe and efficacious as the others, the patient should be notified. Educator: This project is to educate patients and coworkers about the new Novavax vaccine and how it is different from the others.
Required Options for each project ("Check all that apply")-at least 3 of 6 boxes: Health Literacy - The graduate must assess a patient's health literacy and modify communication strategies to meet the patient's needs
Patient Individualization -The graduate will evaluate personal, social, economic, and environmental conditions to maximize health & wellness
Educator - The graduate must educate all audiences by determining the most effective and enduring ways to impart information and assess understanding.
Post-project summary- Includes number of patients reached or number of interventions, patient comments/feedback, and effectiveness of project (if no, why not?):: This project was mostly for my coworkers help determine whether they should carry the new Novavax COVID vaccine. No patients have asked about the new Novavax vaccine. This could be due to the vaccine getting authorized late. Some patients probably do not trust a vaccine that took this long to get authorized. Also, patients could have already gotten their primary series and Novavax is only authorized for the primary series. Most patients are only concerned about their boosters right now.
300-word reflection on the importance of the pharmacist to the Health and Wellness of the community, my Lessons Learned, and how this project will influence your future career.: The pharmacist is a vital part of the community. On these rotations, I noticed a few prescribing mistakes made from doctors. Without the pharmacist and multiple methods of checking, a potentially harmful prescription could be dispensed. That prescription could cause injury or death to the patient if there were no pharmacist oversight. Working at an independent pharmacy was a completely different experience than working at the CVS. CVS only wanted me to fill prescriptions and stay out of everyone's way. There weren't any individual patient interactions besides the occasional counseling. At the independent pharmacy, they care about every patient that walks through the door and the patients care about the pharmacists. Even though the pharmacists only see the patient few times they enter the pharmacy, they all know each other personally. It's a community that I have never seen before. Even to me, I'm just a student and the pharmacists took time out of their busy day and free time to help me learn. This is the kind of pharmacist I want to be. One that has a relationship with patients that extend beyond the medications and counseling. Someone the patient trusts beyond the white coat.
