What is your or your sites philosophy on educating students and/or providing pharmacy services?
Our goal is to incorporate real life experiences of being a pharmacist in a clinical setting with the didactic knowledge provided by the school of pharmacy. Our philosophy is to allow hands on experience of what is like to be a pharmacist and make most of the rotation a learning experience for future pharmacists.
What is a fun fact about you or the site?
Poinciana pharmacy is a very diverse group of people, from different backgrounds , we are definitely a fun crew to work with. We treat each other like family and support one another to make our working day a great day. There is always something to be celebrated every day, being something small to the important events ( pharmacy week, Christmas, etc). I’m truly proud to be part of this awesome team !
