SSHP students and alumni give back by giving advice
On March 26, 2014, the UNE Student Society of Health-System Pharmacy chapter held a Residency/Post-Match Workshop at the College of Pharmacy.
Speaking about their current resident experience (to which they were 鈥渕atched鈥 by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists鈥 Matching Program) and giving pointers to fourth-year students were: Kelly Grossman (鈥13) PharmD, VA Maine Healthcare, and Jonathan Balk (鈥13), PharmD, Houston Methodist Hospital.
Also, offering advice were fourth-year students Katherine Lam, Lori Schidroth, Ali Malinowski, and Ali Paplaskas.
Topic discussions included setting a timeline, searching for residencies, and interviewing skills that will benefit the Class of 2015.
According to the website of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists鈥 Matching Program, students in the residency programs 鈥渁re provided the opportunity to accelerate their growth beyond entry-level professional competence in patient-centered care and in pharmacy operational services, and to further the development of leadership skills that can be applied in any position and in any practice setting.鈥
