What was your favorite part of this rotation?
Working alongside a diverse group of pharmacists from across the United States all on this rotation. I was able to interact with many health plans within the Centene corporation, participating in rounding opportunities, and speaking to plan members regarding questions they had about their medication regimens.
What advice do you have for pharmacy students preparing for rotations?
It is ok to be nervous on your first day of rotations. Show up with a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn from experts in their fields. This is your moment to test your knowledge and it is ok to learn from mistakes that occur along the way. Believe in yourself, you made it this far. You belong in this moment.
What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to apply for a PGY-1 Residency and continue onto a PGY-2 specialty to be determined. Stay tuned….
