I recently had the opportunity to engage with pharmacy students in a meaningful conversation with the host of the Pharmacy school chat room. This platform serves as a safe space for pharmacy students for vulnerability as well as to access mentorship. It’s such an amazing initiative by Osamede Ojo-Nosakhare During our discussion we delved into navigating SIWES/ IT training as a pharmacy student and here are some important tips I gave. 1. Have a goal ie Academic goals such as Learning brands names of drugs, classes of drugs and their uses. Or career and personal development goals such as presentation skills, communication skills, networking, etc. 2. Have a study schedule and a reference case book- for instance learn about antibotics in week 1, anti malaria in week 2, etc. let your schedule be flexible. Also you are there to shadow the pharmacist, watch how he/she attends to different cases and document them. Document the cases you see and the treatment plan, you will need them in the future. 3. Learn with your friends. Schedule regular check in calls to rub minds and learn from each other. They are most likely learning something new too. Grow with them. You can’t do pharmacy alone. 4. Be proactive. Ask questions this also challenges your supervisor. Be responsible, don’t shy away from assignments and presentations. This will help build your skill set and confidence. Don’t be irresponsible scrolling through social media and doing nothing. 5. Be kind to yourself, you are there to learn and if you don’t know anything or make a mistake, learn from it and move on. In conclusion, students don’t take your SIWES as just a break from school. It’s an opportunity to network with your seniors and step towards your long term career goals. So be intentional

I could not agree more with Dr. Rockwell's sentiment. The residency contributes to, but does not make the pharmacist. However, the pharmacist makes the residency experience to a large extent. 1) Beginning at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 10, 2024, programs with unfilled positions and unmatched applicants are free to contact each other and to negotiate directly with each other. I know there are programs that didn't match including some in Community Pharmacy and in Minnesota. 2) Make your own residency. Find a position, learn as much as you can about the position, the pharmacy ( organization), and the forces that impact your position and profession. Then innovate! Looks for opportunities to leverage, problems to solve, operations to streamline, and most importantly; how to improve patient outcomes directly or indirectly. I am happy to discuss with anyone who feels it would be beneficial to do so.

As a pharmacy professor… Pharmacy school applicants often underestimate the amount of time, energy organization, support, and effort that pharmacy school requires. Some even think that they will be able to carry on with their current job while studying. These students tend to struggle when the demands of the PharmD kick in. Before considering applying to pharmacy school, think if this is the most appropriate moment in your life to start such an endeavor. Are you prepared to focus on this goal? Have you researched all the resources you will need to support you during the next 4 years? Does the school you’re applying to provide the flexibility and support that you need? Not all schools will be a fit for you! Do your research and only commit to a PharmD when you are 100% certain that you want to become a pharmacist. When the road gets tough, your commitment to that goal will carry you through.
