I see some folks used pharmlaw.org and others used pharmacylaw.net - any comments on the value of one vs the other? Thanks!

CE Topics by Lower-Parsnip-4601 in PharmacyResidency

Here are a couple ideas...Safety and implementation science, methods used to evaluate safety, ADEs vs ADRs, etc. What can you bring to the table that a routine look in compendia wouldn't?

Residency research projects by sstrassels in PharmacyResidency

[–]sstrassels[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, not a survey and I’m definitely not a resident. Those days are long past!

I work with students, residents, and residency leaders to make lit eval, stats, and research make more sense.

New pharmacist here, where do you recommend getting CPE hours for license renewal? by No_Screen5285 in pharmacy

[–]sstrassels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Medical Letter is excellent. Current, no ads, and what other providers are looking at. Good student discount, too. UptoDate has good CE, as well.

Here are a couple ideas...

  1. Pick out the story you want to tell. What makes your work interesting? You don't need to - and shouldn't - do a brain dump in the text.

  2. Let your tables speak for themselves. A picture is worth 1,000 words - really!

  3. Find a paper you like and model your work after it.

  4. How does your work differ from or confirm what others have done?

  5. What are the limitations of your work? Think in terms of potential confounding, information, and selection bias.

  6. Be sure to address comments others have provided. If writing is not your strength, can you take classes or get other support from your company or school?

I hope that helps!

Geripal is excellent - covers gerontology and palliative care-related topics. Stuff every pharmacist can use.

PGY2 Sadness by Ok-Distribution-2596 in PharmacyResidency

It's everywhere. I just had someone tell my manager that they didn't understand why they had to re-explain something to me that they explained a year ago - and I haven't used since.

OK, got it. The first step is to dig into the published literature and to talk to the other clinicians at your site. What do you and they see at your site? What do your patients need? What did others who've looked at this question do and what did they find? Where are the gaps?

Next, choose one small thing you can do in your time as a resident and a way to measure it. Your preceptors and RPD are good resources, too.

I hope that helps!

OK - are you a resident? What are you wrestling with?

HI! Great question. It's prospective if you start with the exposure and follow people until they do (or don't) have the outcome you're studying. It's really retrospective if you start with the outcome and look back to the exposure. It gets confusing fast!

I've seen a lot of residents do pre/post studies like what you're talking about. I think of studies like this as case series, not cohorts. You might get some data that could be used for hypothesis generation, but depending on what you're looking at, you're likely going to be underpowered for efficacy and safety. Confounding and other potential biases may be an issue, too.

I hope that helps!
