Presence Covenant Medical Center: Pharmacy Assistant (February 2015-May 2015)
At Presence Covenant Medical Center, I volunteered 3.5 hours a week in the Outpatient Pharmacy. I assisted the head pharmacist and pharmacy techinician in receiving, labeling, and stocking orders, running the register, counting pills for prescriptions, and ordering new medications.
Clark-Lindsey Village (May 2014-August 2014)
At Clark-Lindsey Village, I worked 8 hours a week with Abby Field, the Registered Dietitian on staff. My weekly tasks included attending interdisciplinary care plans while utilizing AOD software to collect information on residents, creating 52 weekly nutrition tips to be posted throughout the facility, updating weekly menus and completing recipe conversions, and conducting diet interviews with new residents.
This internship was a unqiue experience that helped me to further develop my communication skills and understand the expectations and needs of older adults in long-term care. Not only did I obtain clinical experience from interacting closely wth Abby, but I also gained foodservice experience by completing recipe conversions for the head chef on staff as well.
