It's has been ages since my last updates here . Sorry guys, i have been too lazy during the past few months till my blogs growing tall tall weeds here haha. It has been 3 months since my stay in Kelantan. Basically i do enjoy the life a lot besides the clerkship. We have been to 7 different pharmacy departments namely
1. TDM unit (therapeutic drug monitoring)
2. TPN unit (total parenteral nutrition)
3. Oncology unit
4. Management unit
5. Outpatient unit
6. Satellite pharmacy unit
7. Drug Information unit
Had been quite busy during the 7 weeks of clerkship as we were assigned 4-5 assignments to be done in 5 days for each units. But on the other day we did have a lot of new exposure and hands on experience on what we have learned in the theory. If you ask for how I feel after the 7 weeks of clerkship, I could tell you that I was a little disappointed for my own profession. I feel that it's really quite bored working in the hospital, at least not the job i wished to have, and furthermore, I feel that pharmacists are not playing an active and crucial role in the hospital setting, which makes me feel that we can't really applied what we have learned so much in the 4 years studies.
Another shocking news that disappointed me is the high possibility of an allowance reduction of RM750 from pharmacists' salary starting next year. This shows how our profession is being sidelined by our government where in the mean times other countries have recognized the importance of pharmacist profession in their countries.
Haha back to the title about my life here. Everyone of us regardless of races has build a closer rapport here. We have been so close among course mates since coming here, maybe due to the limited numbers of us here ( around 6x students)
