What I liked
It’s interesting to begin learning the drugs and what they may be used for as well as being in the pharmacy environment as a student seeking to work in healthcare. The pharmacy is often overlooked so it’s interesting to see how it works. I’ve also worked on doing the drive-thru COVID testing, which is an experience.
What I wish was different
Advice
Prepare yourself for angry customers.
