Fall (3rd Co-op)
It’s been awhile since my last update.
Since I last posted, I have survived finals week, and begun my new co-op at Boston Medical Center.
It is the outpatient pharmacy that fills about 1100 prescriptions a day. It is very busy, and serves as a health safety net for patients who do not have insurance, or who are underinsured. So far, it has been a great experience, because it is like nothing I have ever done before. I have worked at an inpatient hospital, an oncology hospital, a major pharmaceutical company, and now an outpatient pharmacy; I feel that being well rounded is vital for the world after graduation. I am preparing myself to be able to handle any situation, and by having experience at such a wide variety of pharmacy settings, I feel like I would be able to work anywhere.
I am now in my fourth year in pharmacy school, and after this semester I only have 4 semesters left of school. I will be in classes for 1.5 years straight, before I begin my clinical rotations. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I look forward to my future as a pharmacist.
