2/16/11

This week, Erica had me do some research and worksheets. The worksheets had math problems on how to calculate dosages for different types of drugs. They also had questions about various medications and their effects, or reactions with other drugs. I found that information on a site used by pharmacists and doctors. The website is like a huge encyclopedia of drugs, and it lists information about the drug, how its used, its different forms, etc. [D] It's a pretty useful thing, especially for medical professionals who can't possibly memorize the thousands of drugs that are out on the market. [A] The research I worked on is for the end of the semester project that I will be doing for my sponsor. I've chosen to research herbal medications, and I will give a presentation at the end of my internship to Erica, and any other people in the pharmacy who want to listen. [D]
I actually prefer doing work at the counter, like inputing and filling prescriptions. Sitting at a desk and reading over lots of information is a little more boring, and I get pretty sleepy sitting around. Hopefully next week, I can go back to working a little more at the counter, even though the down time at the computer is a great time to journal, blog, and work on my research. [A]
