Interpretive
What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I believe the most important thing I have gained from this experience is seeing firsthand what a pharmacist does. I have always had an idea as to what a pharmacist does but I have never realized what the extent of it is. I feel that this is the most important thing that I have gained and could have gained because if I do choose this as a future career it is important for me to know what I'll be doing.
Applied
How did what you did help you choose a topic?
I feel that the experience helped me choose pharmacy as a topic because it showed me what pharmacy is really about and what pharmacists do. From what I have observed, they are more of an advice giver than anything. The consultations were my favorite part to observe because they seemed to know so much and know exactly know how to fix it. It made me realize how much more interested I am in what a pharmacist does and how I can get there.
