“I strongly believe that my placements have made
a difference in my career preparation. Instead of just
studying and attending lectures, I was given the
opportunity to deal with real life patients. This way,
I got to learn more because I was able to apply and
practice what I learnt in class. Being assigned to
different settings has also made me more culturally
aware, sensitive and empathetic, which are qualities
that are very crucial for a pharmacist to have.”
