PHARMACY ADMISSIONS GUIDE: Admissions

Embarking on a journey in the field of pharmacy opens an array of possibilities, each offering unique avenues for professional growth and impact. From traditional roles in community or hospital pharmacies to innovative paths in research, consulting, or the pharmaceutical industry, the world of pharmacy is loaded with career opportunities that cater to a wide range of interests and aspirations. Aspiring pharmacists can navigate this diverse landscape to carve out a fulfilling career that aligns with their passions and goals, shaping the future of healthcare with their expertise and dedication. Pharmacy is not just dispensing medications. Join us as we embark on a journey exploring some of the job opportunities that await in this ever-evolving profession. INPATIENT PHARMACIST EXPLORING DIVERSE CAREER PATHS IN PHARMACY

• Clinical Monitoring: Inpatient Pharmacists monitor patients’ responses to medications, including their lab values and vital signs, to ensure the medications are effective and safe. • Medication Reconciliation: Inpatient Pharmacists ensure that patients’ medication lists are accurate and up-to-date, especially during transitions of care such as admission, transfer, and discharge to prevent medication errors. • Drug Information: Inpatient Pharmacists serve as a resource for healthcare providers, offering guidance on drug selection, dosing, and administration. They also stay updated on new medications and treatment guidelines. • Pharmacy Operations: In addition to their clinical roles, inpatient pharmacists oversee the distribution and management of medications within the hospital, ensuring that medications are stored and dispensed properly. • Quality Improvement: Inpatient Pharmacists participate in quality improvement initiatives to enhance medication safety and patient outcomes, such as medication use evaluations and adverse drug reaction monitoring. • Inpatient pharmacists play a crucial role in the healthcare team, contributing to the safe and effective use of medications in hospitalized patients.

Inpatient Pharmacists, also known as hospital pharmacists are employed in hospitals or healthcare facilities. This type of pharmacist collaborates with healthcare teams to ensure appropriate medication use, manage drug therapies, and oversee pharmacy operations. According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), inpatient pharmacists strive to integrate clinical, distributive, and operational functions while focusing on improving patient outcomes, precepting students, and improving medication safety. Depending on the level of postgraduate training and/or experience, the responsibilities of an Inpatient Pharmacist may include: • Medication Management: Inpatient Pharmacists review medication orders, ensure appropriate dosing, and check for potential drug interactions or allergies. They work closely with healthcare teams to develop and adjust medication regimens. • Patient Consultation: Inpatient Pharmacists often meet with patients to discuss their medications, potential side effects, and proper administration techniques. They may also provide counseling on lifestyle modifications and answer any questions patients may have about their medications.

AMBULATORY CARE PHARMACIST Ambulatory Care Pharmacists are similar to inpatient pharmacists, but work in healthcare settings outside of hospitals such as clinics or long-term care facilities, providing direct patient care, medication therapy management for chronic medical conditions, and participating in interdisciplinary healthcare teams. According to the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, ambulatory care pharmacists are frequently granted patient care privileges by collaborating physicians and/or health systems that allow them to perform a full range of medication decision-making functions as part of the patient’s healthcare team. These privileges are granted based on the clinical pharmacist’s demonstrated knowledge of medication therapy and record of clinical experience. This specialized knowledge and clinical experience is usually gained through residency training and specialist board certification.

LEARNING

At Roseman University, our philosophy has always been, and will always be, to provide students with the highest quality healthcare education using innovative, effective learning practices. To carry out this vision, we utilize a Six-Point Mastery Learning Model® that fosters a collaborative learning environment and yields unprecedented levels of student achievement.

PHARMACY ADMISSIONS GUIDE: Academics

ROSEMAN UNIVERSITY STRIVES TO Produce competent graduates in an educational environment that ensures high levels of achievement from all students and fosters cooperation and collaboration in the learning process. This is the concept of mastery learning.

IVAN LOPEZ | PHARMD CLASS OF 2025 “I love the Block Curriculum because I get to focus on one block at a time and learn everything about one subject instead of juggling multiple courses at a time as I have done before. Achieving 90 percent on assessments is challenging but attainable. I am less stressed about organizing my schedule every week and know what to expect when it comes to my day-to-day life. I love that I get to focus on one subject at a time and feel like I retain the information better this way.”

ZANE WILLETT | PHARMD CLASS OF 2028 “The Active & Collaborative Learning components of Roseman make you feel prepared to use your education in the real world. I’ve participated in programs where you finish the program and feel like you still must learn how to apply the knowledge when you get out of the classroom. The various approaches to getting students engaged and incorporating the knowledge into different activities make us more prepared to apply the knowledge we are gaining throughout the curriculum.”

JUN-HONG (DANIEL) YANG | PHARMD CLASS OF 2024 “Removing traditional grades so that students focus on competency has made a more collaborative environment, where we would help each other with one goal: for all to be successful in the academics.”

ROBIN REED | PHARMD CLASS OF 2025 “Assessment Learning profoundly influences my learning journey and goal attainment. While initially challenging, the drive to meet high assessment standards has motivated me to excel. Embracing continuous assessment has enhanced my efficiency in mastering the material, as I’ve realized that seizing more learning opportunities leads to better comprehension. Moreover, the feedback and reassessment process play a crucial role in promptly identifying and addressing areas of weakness. Ultimately, the emphasis on Assessment Learning has not only boosted my confidence but also ensured ongoing improvement as I advance toward my goals.”

URVI PATEL | PHARMD CLASS OF 2025 “My favorite facet of the Six-Point Mastery Learning Model® is Early Experiential Learning. This component stands out because it bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, allowing students to see, feel, and understand the relevance of classroom teachings in real-world healthcare settings. Early exposure to clinical environments not only enhances learning but also builds confidence, hones clinical skills, and prepares students for the complexities of their future careers. This hands-on experience is invaluable, as it ensures that students are not just academically prepared but also practically competent, making them more effective and empathetic healthcare professionals.”

MEHREEN HASAN | PHARMD CLASS OF 2024 “My favorite facet of the model is Classroom as Teacher because the unique layout has made approaching the professors easier. This has helped me build some strong relationships with each of my professors and it has positively affected the way I learn and the way I have been performing academically.”

FACULTY/STAFF SPOTLIGHTS Our founders approached learning in a different way. They recognized that every student has a different learning style and that adult learners may need to be engaged differently.

Breaking down barriers and increasing communication and partnership between student and teacher are at the core of success, proficiency and content mastery.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Dr. Jenny Nguyen, PharmD, BCPS, BCPPS, is happy to be serving her local community as a Pharmacist and Pediatric Clinical Specialist at Dignity Health, St. Rose Dominican – Siena Campus, working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as part of a multidisciplinary team focused on treating preterm and medically fragile infants. As part of a team, Dr. Nguyen enjoys the interdependence between the various healthcare providers—including dieticians and respiratory therapists—knowing that this teamwork and mutual respect yields the best patient care and most ideal patient outcomes. "My opinions and recommendations are always considered and valued.” Looking back, Dr. Nguyen acknowledges that she was eager to get her education completed so that she could start her career, and Roseman's accelerated PharmD appealed to her, allowing her to fast-track her education and get to work sooner. Dr. Nguyen enjoys working alongside the parents of her patients as well, who may be new to parenting and the NICU. There are meaningful interactions daily in this role. “One meaningful interaction I had was with a mother who was hesitant and afraid to allow her baby to receive a Vitamin K injection. Together with the doctor, we explained the potential risk of Vitamin K deficiency bleeding in newborns.

I took the time and explained that she should consider it as vitamin supplementation rather than a medication – merely supplementing until babies are old enough to have adequate stores and obtain from external sources like food. The mother felt reassured and consented to the injection. The doctor was also appreciative.” Being open to new opportunities, different practice areas and settings enabled Dr. Nguyen to find her profession. She encourages all aspiring pharmacists to “embrace new experiences and don't hesitate to try something different. Say 'yes' to every opportunity that comes your way.” The path may not always be straightforward and linear, and openness to the unexpected can yield exceptional discoveries. Alongside her family, Dr. Nguyen likes to travel, explore new places, parks, and restaurants. She also likes to be active through bouldering and rock climbing. Thank you Dr. Nguyen for all you do to support our community!

MEET ROSEY the ROADRUNNER

Rosey the Roadrunner embodies the visual representation of Roseman, reflecting its history, culture and character – especially what is believed to be the defining characteristics of our students and alumni. Roadrunners are indigenous to Nevada and parts of Utah, in fact, they’re frequently seen running through the parking lot of the Henderson campus! The qualities of the Roadrunner match well with Roseman students and alumni, because roadrunners are known for their: CURIOSITY CONFIDENCE ENDURANCE COURAGE AWARENESS Roadrunners are also considered Medicine Birds by many Native American tribes in the southwest. The Hopi and other Pueblo tribes believed that the Roadrunner was a medicine bird that could ward off negative energy, and Roadrunner feathers were even used to decorate the cradles of their children to protect them. To Native American tribes in Mexico, it was considered good luck to see a Roadrunner. That tradition holds true today, for every healthcare organization considers it good luck to hire a Roseman roadrunner!
