In this day we had our first synchronous session which was the orientation of our hospital pharmacy internship.
The session was very informative of what we should expect to do all throughout the internship. As the session goes by
when the preceptors discuss all about hospital pharmacist or what a pharmacist in a hospital, I became much more
excited of what was to come because I think this internship was so very interesting and I am looking forward to the most
since I am planning to work as a hospital pharmacist once I’ve graduated. So, I really hope that this internship will give
me an insight about the essence of being a hospital pharmacist.
In this day was the start of our lesson proper about hospital pharmacy internship. Our preceptor was Sir Edward
Tolentino. Sir Edward have a good communication with the students, very approachable and interactive. Whenever he
ask questions to the students he pauses his lecture and gives time to the students to answer and also to explain much
more his lesson for us to understand well. The session was organize, the content was pleasingly in order and the details
were explained in a simple manner that every student can easily understand the lecture.
In this day was the second day of our lecture. The preceptor discussed or what we say teach us on how to fill up
the dangerous drug forms. I knew that this form is one of the forms that we will be filling up when we will be working as
hospital pharmacists and that I was interested the most to learn. Even in this day my internet connection was slow I am
trying my best to pay attention so that I will know in the future on how to fill it up or what to write in the form.
In this day the lesson was pharmaceutical calculations and it made refresh my mind about the pharmaceutical
calculations subject from our first year class. I also remember the equations that would be used for the problems, and
also some techniques such as ratio and proportion and dimension analysis. However, other equations like how to
calculate the number of moles, Molarity, Infusion rates it really hard for me because I had no or not much idea at the
time of the discussion. However, sir Edward our preceptor was able to teach us well step by step and I was able to
understand since he presented everything and showed the right equations and solutions. By the end of the discussion he
was also share his PowerPoint presentation and it was very helpful for us to understand well the equation much better
and access them any time.
In this day, we learned about medication orders and how to fill up the medication profile of the patient and how
to transcribe the medication orders. I learned that in order to transcribe medication you have to be a good listener,
know how to handle a patient, know what to ask in order to get the right medicine and to avoid mistakes by filling up
the forms.
In this day, was the lecture for clinical pharmacy. It was an analytical session where we really had to be focused
on the cases because every information counts. We had to take note of all the important information such as patients
profile, the symptoms, medical history, and other information.
In this day also, the preceptor presented different cases and discussed how to take the case and what
information we need to take note of.
In this day, the preceptor discussed critical appraisal wherein we would have to critic a research paper and how
it help to evaluate if the research is truly beneficial for the common good.
In this day, we learned how to analyze the case and fill up the patient drug database, transcribe the medication
orders, pharmacist intervention form, and Drug therapy assessment worksheet.
