Clinical Skills Competition

Hey guys!

It's September and that means school is in full swing for me here at PCOM-GA. This year I'm a third year student which means this is my last year of classes. I honestly can't believe how fast the time has gone! It seems like only yesterday I was nervously sitting in my first class (Biochemistry) and now I'm preparing for the next big step in my life... rotations!

Even though my mind is on the months to come (and what will come after) I also am very involved in what's going on currently on campus. Since I am interested in pursuing a career in hospital pharmacy I have spent much of my time here at PCOM getting involved with ASHP, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. This year I was lucky enough to be snag a position that allows me to get more involved with the organization and positively impact my school. This year I was appointed to be the Chair of Clinical Skills. That means that I am in charge of putting together PCOM's Clinical Skills Competition. The CSC is an annual competition that is done first on a local level at all the pharmacy schools and then at a national level at the ASHP yearly meeting. The winners of our school's competition get to compete in the national competition in December.

If you remember last year, my very first blog post actually involved the Clinical Skills Competition. It was a blast and I learned a lot so this year I'm excited to get to put it together for other students.

As I've said before one if my favorite things about my school is how easy it is to get involved. We have new opportunities opening up every day and if your are interested in getting involved there is always something out there for you to do.


I will post pictures of the competition next month!
