There is a profound difference between reading about a medical procedure and actually seeing it unfold in real-time. Today, I am highlighting the incredible work being done in the Pharmacy Practice Department at our college, which operates at a truly exceptional level.
Bridging the Gap: From Theory to Reality
In our clinical studies, we spend years imagining the application of what we learn. The Practice Department takes that imagination and brings it to life, allowing us to see exactly how the complex topics covered in lectures are implemented on the ground.
Oncology Preparation: A major focus of our current practical training is the preparation of oncology (cancer) medications.
Unmatched Precision: Preparing these treatments is not just about the work itself; it requires an immense level of concentration and accuracy every single time.
Safety First: Every detail must be perfectly aligned because you are responsible for managing everything about the preparation process to ensure patient safety and medication efficacy.
The Heart of Specialized Pharmacy
Watching a specialist work inside a sterile environment, meticulously handling these vital treatments, reinforces why specialized clinical pharmacy is so critical.
Academic Excellence: This hands-on experience builds directly upon our research into advanced therapies, such as my recent award-winning presentation on Canagliflozin for CKD.
Pioneering Care: It aligns perfectly with our goal from the [Ph]ocus Project—becoming career pioneers who prioritize high-level clinical outcomes.
A Note of Gratitude
I want to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the entire Pharmacy Practice Department. Their dedication to showing us the reality of our profession is a "treasure" of an educational experience that we truly value.
