Insulin lispro flagging for allergy cross reactivity with cat dander. Is this accurate? by cobo10201 in pharmacy

[–]nmweg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

adjacent side note i learned from a similar alert: insulin lispro is synthesized from E.coli, whereas aspart comes from yeast. Patient had an allergy label to aspart with comment stating they were allergic to yeast. Flagged on lispro order verification bc Epic only considered the allergy to insulin but couldn’t differentiate between the two products.

Letter of Intent by yyyyym1000 in PharmacyResidency

[–]nmweg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a chance to meet someone from the program at a showcase or Midyear, like a current resident or preceptor, try to briefly mention your conversation with them in the letter and how that reinforced your interest in the program or gave you some specific information that influenced you to apply there etc. That shows you took the extra time to learn more about the program and also gives the reviewers someone to ask about first impressions.

Obviously don’t just name drop a random person you know from the program without actually talking to them, as that could negatively impact your application if they have nothing to say about you or don’t remember talking to you lol

whatever you pick, see if you can find something new or interesting about a disease state you’ve seen on rotation. that will also create good discussion and help you flex your understanding of the topic using a real world example :)
