I'm a guy, she's a girl. I'm a pharmacist, she's an artist. I'm into sports, she writes songs about not being into sports. We have a lot of similarities. Ok maybe not but we have at least one thing in common...we both get excited to teach.
It was about a year ago when I decided I was just like Taylor. My wife and I were watching the Voice and she was a guest mentor. She seemed very excited to be there helping the young artists who were trying to find their way. She gave pertinent, valuable advice that you could tell helped the singers when they went on stage. I found myself watching Taylor and smiling because I get that same feeling of excitement when I get to help out my students who are preparing for their stage - pharmacy pracactice.
Precepting students is one of the main reasons I became board certified. I feel they need up to date, accurate, evidence-based information when they are on rotation and BCPS helps me (forces me) to be that for them. The ASHP Literature Study module has been a really good way to stay up to date. I feel drug literature is a cornerstone of clinical pharmacy practice and this module really shores up any deficiencies you may have
Here's to a passion for learning and teaching!
