>> [MUSIC] All right, wake up at dawn,
I'm about to head into work and have a great day ahead.
Heading into our office. Hi guys.
>> Hi.
>> My typical day is getting up around 5:30.
Currently, on my rotation is I'm doing my IPR experience,
which means I'm stopping in
the pediatric pharmacy make sure that we don't have
any medications that are outdated
for that we don't have any discrepancies.
Well. Looks good. I'm ready to go.
>> When I matched, I was so excited.
>> It was truly a blessing.
Johns Hopkins, program with every program,
was a legit program that I was interested in.
>> Something that was really important to me,
was a mentorship program.
>> I knew the minute that I met some
of the fantastic preceptor that are at Hopkins
this is a place that wasn't really going to challenge me
but also be very supportive at the same time.
>> We are pulled in
all different directions and there's so much new.
Having that built-in mentorship program
to guide us and being able to
just have them as a friend and not someone
that is there to assess us on a daily basis.
Just someone to always reach out to.
>> Being a pharmacotherapy resident.
One a few in the country.
We're only one of 15 and the country.
I have all these great opportunities to see
multiple different areas of pharmacy, oncology,
psychiatry internal medicine,
and critical care PDZ,
you knew that I'll be able to have a rotation and
get the experience to help me my career goals.
>> In addition, there is the opportunity to treat
such complex patients and such a diverse group of patients.
[MUSIC] Having that experience and
exposure to the really rare disease states,
people traveling all over the world.
I will have that exposure in my back pocket to build
my toolbox to become a successful pharmacist.
>> I think one of my favorite aspects of
Hopkins that I wasn't really expecting,
but I'm so pleased that I've been able to
experience is that we are a group of learners.
It's a large academic medical institution.
Not only have I gotten close with my pharmacy learners,
my pharmacy students,
and myself, My co-residents.
But I've also got to know the interns as well and nurses in
all of the learners that are involved and
those aspects of health care as well.
>> Something that the program does really great
is we have a draft and the beginning of
the year to create a schedule that really
accommodates all of our interests.
>> I feel that pharmacy is very well
integrated into the hospital system.
They constantly ask for pharmacists opinion.
They constantly ask me for my advice and if this is okay,
this is not okay I feel very welcome member into the team.
We are very busy as residents.
We do rely on each other for
not just our professional development in
our professional support for our personal and social ads as well.
>> They are my best friends and I think
that having 13 of us does seem like a lot.
But I have never once felt that I was just a number in the crowd.
I think having that big class
allows us to work together collaboratively.
>> We're able to align each other.
It's about giving ourselves
the grit and grace to be able to make mistakes.
But we also rely on our peers to help us out when we do make
those mistakes and give us a little bit of
knowledge and support along the way.
>> I saw immense growth within myself and I was
able to build a new clinical confidence.
I came here because I really wanted to be challenged.
>> Every day I'm learning something new.
Every day I'm taking a piece of
information the way that I'm going to be
able to apply it to the next day,
the next week, the rotation.
It's very open communication,
it's very honest communication,
and is just all made us
better healthcare professionals day by day.
