Blog 12 – Holiday Project Update

Me on the first day back to school

1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
I actually got sick twice during break so I wasn't able to do as much as I had wanted to do.
I still continued my mentorship but I only went for one day instead of two days. I was, however, able to add a few more sources to my research.

2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing that I learned from both my mentorship and my research is that communication between the patient and medical staff is very important. Once there was a patient who almost took too much of a medicine. The doctor misunderstood the patient's age and gave the wrong dosage. Luckily the pharmacist (aka my mentor :D ) caught the doctor's mistake and was able to fix it before giving the patient her medicine.

3. Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
I plan to interview my mentor, Michel Daher, PharmD, for my third interview because I have already briefly discussed my senior project and working essential question with him.
