OSCEs

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

It's just a few days before our second term finals so right now I'm multitasking like a true pharmacy student. Today, while many of our classmates have gone to Georgia Pharmacy Association day at the capital I'm at home cleaning the house, writing this post, getting ready for a Valentine's Day date and studying for Infectious Disease. It's been a busy day and I still have lot's to do so I'll keep this short. I want to wish the first year students the best of luck with their upcoming OSCEs. OSCEs are practical finals for our lab classes where students have to present their ability to preform different tasks with patients. This term our first year students will be tested on some basic pharmacy tasks like counseling, teaching patients how to use their glucose meters and inhalers, and proper blood pressure techniques. These skills are incredibly important for a pharmacist to master and they will get lots of practice furthering these skills as they move forward in their rotations.

I'll leave you with a little Valentine's Day humor courtesy of my friend Melissa Cheung.

"Boy! I think I need to check your blood glucose, cause you're super sweet!"

"Did I take your breath away? Because I can counsel you on inhalers!"
