I just finished up block three! I cannot believe I am nearing the half way point of my year!
This block I volunteered to do a "traveling" rotation. Basically, I moved to a small town for 5 weeks for the course of rotation. Before it started I was a little nervous about how it would go, but it ended up being an amazing experience. I miss it already!
For my third rotation, I worked at a hospital in LaGrange, Georgia, close to the Alabama border. Because I was so close to Alabama, my co-intern was actually from Auburn University. We hit it off immediately and had a great time working together in the hospital.
This rotation was set up into "blocks" where we would go work in different areas of the hospital with different specialized pharmacists. My favorite block was in the Intensive Care Unit with Jeremy. The ICU at the hospital was very new and allowed for state of the art care for its patients. I was able to work with a huge variety of different disease states and it was great being able to consult with Jeremy about potential therapy improvements and then seeing them change in real time.
I also loved the times I was able to work with the hospital psychiatric patients. It was really eye opening seeing the things I studied so closely in school playing out in front of me and the pharmacist I worked with was an amazing teacher.
See ya'll next block!
