Wanted to share this thought with you guys... This will apply to everyone; whether you're in pharmacy school, currently a pharmacist, pre-med student, medical student, or resident... Leave A Good Impression Everywhere You Go... Whether you're on rotations.. working at the pharmacy.. Or volunteering for clinical experience.. Leave a good impression. Work hard, be on time, respect your preceptors and teachers, ask appropriate questions, go the extra mile, be a happy person to be around.. Why is this important? Because the world of healthcare is VERY small. Like very small. My pharmacy people understand this even more. Pharmacy world is SO small. Everyone is connected to everyone someway, somehow. For example: I went to pharmacy school at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, but my parents lived in Amarillo, Texas (in the Texas Panhandle), so I would go back home for the summers. I had my Texas Pharmacy Intern license, so during those summers I would pick up shifts at the CVS' in town. One day I was working at a new store and got into a conversation with the pharmacy manager there. She ended up asking me where I went to school and when I told her, she asked me if I knew a particular individual. I did. She then went on to tell me that this individual, who had gone to the same school I did in New Orleans, WAS HER PRECEPTOR was when was in pharmacy school at Texas A&M in College Station. Do you understand how CRAZY that is? New Orleans, Amarillo, College Station, all connected ?!? I share this to practically illustrate how small the world of healthcare is. You never know where the people you meet along your journey will end up... So wake up everyday and do your best. The more people you meet, the better..especially if you've left a good impression :) What other helpful advice do you have? Would love to hear!👇🏽👇🏽 Picture: IPPE rotation during P3 Year - 2019

“This is an exciting time for students. They have finally completed their prerequisite training and are able to put on their white coats and venture into the hospital wards.” Students in their final two years at SGU are now venturing into the clinical studies portion of their MD curriculum.

Moving from the classroom to APPE rotations is a learning curve. I found this article helpful and simple enough to implement for success. Good luck to all of the pharmacy students transitioning from lecture to the real world 🌎! https://lnkd.in/eA9ZeKvf

Did you know that the recruitment process for trainee foundation pharmacists (previously known as pre-reg pharmacists) is undergoing change? Summer 2025 will see the first MPharm graduates aligned to the new GPhC learning outcomes, and the majority will enter foundation training to embark on Independent Prescribing as part of their foundation training year. This is an important milestone in the reform of Pharmacist initial education and training – for employers, educators and learners.

This may be controversial, but I think some of the most important skills for a successful pharmacy career aren't learned in the classroom. In fact, many of the things I do in my life to be more successful I learned on my own, but that doesn't mean my students have to. As a pharmacy preceptor, I have the opportunity to give back and share the things I wish I knew when I was a student. Sure, I spend the vast majority of the rotation teaching the student about my day-to-day. I share clinical and operational skills they need to know to do my job, but that's not all I do. I include additional topic discussions for my students where they can ask me the things they want to know and I can also give them advice on things they didn't even think to ask. In reality, most of my students will never be an investigational drug service pharmacist, but they will need to know how to network, build wealth, and prevent burnout. I love being able to provide knowledge on all these areas. Pharmacy preceptors: have you implemented something like this on your rotations? Pharmacy students & residents: do you think these topic discussions are beneficial? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! ⬇
