May 26, 2016

In a farewell message to the Touro College of Pharmacy graduates of 2016, the faculty at TCOP share some reminders and advice, such as…

Reach out to peers, colleagues, and friends for questions during your first job—they’ve been there and should be able to help
Your advice is going to be valued by other professionals, the patient, as well as the patients’ family
Keep up with medication guidelines by signing up for listservs
When interacting with patients, put aside technical jargon
If you need to go back to school to complete a residency or fellowship, it’s always worthwhile to take one step back in order to take two steps forward
Collaborate with other health care professionals to ensure that you optimize delivery of care to your patients
And lastly (but certainly not least): Always remember that you are equipped to excel!
