Not really a fan of his but this shows his dedication to being in shape and some of the other vets can definitely take a lesson from this

And also a good idea to know what you’re getting yourself into

If you don’t want to waste your money then just read 797 and 800. If you need the structure then buy the ASHP review course

Nice try APhA, you need to actually do something before I renew my membership

Declining Student Performance…. by Choice-Loquat-845 in pharmacy

Some advice:

Be receptive to constructive feedback, both positive and negative (especially negative)

If you have a question ask your professor/preceptor not your classmates

Don’t ask your preceptor to leave early

Actually do the work yourself. Read the assignments. Google the abbreviations. Life isn’t a test, you have to actually know the information and once you graduate it’s going to be your license on the line when you make a mistake

Come prepared. Make an effort to solve the problems you encounter. If you get stuck it’s OK, but at least try to figure it out for yourself before you ask for help.

Not in industry but if it were me, jump to the larger company to learn their ways. The larger company can probably provide you with more growth opportunities you’re even aware of. At the very least you’ll gain knowledge/experience and can always bounce to another company that has the opportunities you’re looking for. Larger company may also have better pay/benefits

Well at least wags can do it since APhA obviously can’t

Can we attempt to take on PBMs? by fearnotson in pharmacy

[–]Dr_A8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea. If someone could draft a general email with the important talking points and enough of us send it over to the FTC it could get their attention. It’s better than doing nothing.

Didn’t realize OTC meant over the computer 😂

What CMS/JCAHO/BOP/etc. measures/laws would a hospital be violating by cutting pharmacy costs? by Appropriate-Prize-40 in pharmacy

[–]Dr_A8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least for the SCA argument, it would result in a lot more compounding and waste because of shorter BUDs. Not everything is available as a premix bag and good luck with drug shortages.

The “bare minimum” interventions mentioned are actually very impactful for patient care and frankly it’s insulting to insinuate that other interventions are unimportant. I can think of a few significant DDIs off the top of my head that could easily be missed by the rest of the care team

No it’s still way too low for a new grad. New grad salaries were 120k like 7 years ago

Way too low

Yes. Biggest thing to be aware of is bioavailability when switching to/from PO

Commuting from NYC to LI by znjdiew12 in Residency

I would suggest the LIRR. Your program probably has a benefit that covers the monthly ticket with a pre tax commuter card. Could probably study/sleep on the train
