A training that I found especially beneficial was medication counseling. During the first two years of pharmacy school, I received in depth instruction on how to effectively counsel patients about their medications, which included the entire process. Counseling requires various components: highlighting key information about the medication therapy, adjusting communication to the patients\u2019 literacy level, effectively answering any questions that the patient may have. During pharmacy practice lab, I was able to implement the knowledge I had acquired about counseling and the various medications through hands-on practice with lab groups. I also had various closeout exams in which I completed counseling sessions with standardized patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relating to what I have learned about training in Management 553, the training I received for counseling was beneficial because I had weekly opportunities to practice during lab sessions and the training was absolutely relevant to my future practice, which made the content more meaningful. Additionally, my performance was informally assessed by lab instructors and lab mates periodically and prior to the final closeout exams. This ensured that I was properly trained and given enough practice before being formally assessed and prior to starting counseling on rotations in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another training that I have completed during pharmacy school is vaccine administration training. This training consisted of various online modules and quizzes, followed by a couple of in-person sessions that highlighted key details from the modules, and a single lab session to practice vaccinations on a partner. The limited hands-on practice reminded me much of UPS\u2019s previous style of training, which emphasized more of a lecture style approach. While it is important to learn about vaccines and the related policies and techniques, administering vaccinations can be nerve-racking and stressful, especially when the vaccinator lacks sufficient practice. Thus, I would recommend additional practice in vaccination administration prior to becoming certified and encountering real-world interactions. Implementing a technology-based approach as done in the UPS case could be an innovative way to better prepare students to vaccinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
