Hi, my name Dawn, and I am a P2 here at PCSP. There are so many things I could share with you about PCSP but this would no longer be a blog. As I directed my path into a career in pharmacy, PCSP was not open yet but I had seen an article in a Pharmacy Times Magazine introducing the school. As time got closer, my interest in the school grew. The community-based program was very intriguing and important to me. I have no doubt that I made the right decision to be here.
I want to share with you one of the unique things about our
school. We do our rotations during the school year starting in the second
semester of the P1 year. These rotations are one day a week for 4 hours to
different locations for a 5 or 6-week time-period. What is great is as you go
out to these sites, the things you learn during school you put to work in the
community making learning more effective. Believe me, as you learn here and
apply it out there, the better you understand. You do not have to wait until the
summer or your 4th year rotations to start experiencing the pharmacy
world we will be entering very soon. This also gives you experiences in areas
other than just retail or hospital pharmacies. PCSP does a great job at
exposing you to many different avenues in the world of pharmacy, and because it
is early on, it allows you to make better decisions and set goals early in your
career. My last rotation was a great experience. Even though I have worked in a
hospital pharmacy for many years, this hospital rotation gave me some
incredible insight and experience. I worked with physicians, medical residents,
medical students, pharmacy residents, and other pharmacists. Their teaching and
knowledge was awesome to learn from and coincided with what I learned in class.
They were excited for us to be there almost as much as I was. It was a
privilege to be in that environment and was a wonderful experience and
opportunity to build on my education. I am thankful that PCSP has developed
this into their program.
