Exit Interview

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

Essential Question: "What can a pharmacist do to enhance a patient's experience?"

Answer 1: To enhance a patient's experience, a pharmacist should provide a service to help educate a patient.

Answer 2: Getting to know your patients can help enhance the patient's experience. 

Answer 3: A pharmacist can enhance a patient's experience by having good communication with their employees.

My best answer is my first answer because it is very versatile. It helps both the patient and the pharmacist. There is also a lot you can do with providing a service.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

I came across my answer when researching. I was looking at what a pharmacist should do for patients. That article brought up the idea of counseling. From there I started looking up different counseling articles and studies. After I first came across the idea of counseling, I realized that mentorship actually offers it for their patients. It was cool to see what I was researching being used in real life.

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

A big problem I faced was that there we're any book sources I could use. I look at almost every library in my area. I looked on the county library cite. I even asked my mentor if should knew of any book sources. She didn't have any. To solve these problem, I decided to look for a lot of medical journals and studies.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

My two most significant sources would have to be my mentor and the McKesson article I referenced in my second and third finding. My mentor was absolutely great. I could go to her for anything. She answered a lot of the questions I had that I couldn't find an article to answer. The McKesson article because I am very familiar with their company. My mentorship actually uses that company to provide them with all their medication.
