clarifying how pharmacists may soon<br />
have an expanded role in “medication<br />
management”.<br />
Looking back, one <strong>of</strong> the most significant<br />
observations that I made while at<br />
the <strong>College</strong> was the importance <strong>of</strong> excellent<br />
communication, good relationships<br />
and camaraderie. I saw first hand<br />
how excellent communication and good<br />
relationships not only facilitate good<br />
teamwork, but also promote and encourage<br />
more great work to develop.<br />
As I enter into my third year <strong>of</strong> pharmacy,<br />
I am excited to be able to apply<br />
these skills in my own work and interactions<br />
with my peers as we take on<br />
many educational challenges this year.<br />
In closing, I was very fortunate to<br />
have had the opportunity to meet<br />
and work with so many inspiring and<br />
experienced individuals this summer<br />
and I am very grateful to the <strong>College</strong><br />
for making this student position possible.<br />
