I have OFFICIALLY reached the halfway point of my mentorship hours with 31.5 hours!
Some positive statements about my mentorship so far:
-My mentor is extremely flexible with my schedule of when I want to volunteer.
-Everyone at the pharmacy is very friendly and willing to explain what they're doing.
-Even though they give me busy work a lot of the time, it's actually work that I enjoy doing.
-I am not just sitting there observing them most of the time.
-They always make sure that I'm not observing too long and helping out.
-I really get a view of EVERYTHING they are doing as a pharmacy.
How the mentorship has helped me answer my EQ:
-Given me a view of what a pharmacist does on a daily
-Shows me how much customer interaction and how much they really help the patient with whatever need they have by ordering them a taxi or finding the right cane tip
What worked regarding my mentorship:
-The amount of hands on experience I get to do rather than just sitting around and observing
-The real view I get to have with all aspects of the pharmacy from customer service to filling prescriptions
-Flexibility of schedule with my mentorship
What hasn't worked so far regarding my mentorship:
-Not being able to volunteer as much as I want to because of my busy schedule
-Not having a camera to take pictures of all the things I am doing
-Updating my blog independently
Finding value with my mentorship:
My mentorship so far has given me that view and hands on experience with a pharmacist that I would never get by just reading articles. I am truly appreciative of my mentorship because it gives me so many answers to my essential question just by being able to really see what a pharmacist does on a daily basis. It shows me how much they really do just to help a patient.
Because I am at my halfway point of my mentorship, I now have a view of what I can do better. Some of the things I will do differently for the rest of my mentorship is definitely pay more attention of my surroundings to take full advantage of this opportunity. Another thing I will do is go to my mentorship more often to keep the relationship between my mentors and me good so that they can be more trusting of me with duties. The most important thing I think I will do from now on is definitely ask more questions and try to take pictures of the things I am doing.
Above are a couple pictures of one of the things that I have done at my mentorship. These pictures show an inventory list that I took of diabetic products and durable medical equipment.
