I started working in a hospital pharmacy about 3 months ago. It is a great way to boost my application and learn about the career but I am not sure I am getting the most out of the experience. I am the first shadow volunteer they have had (so they are a little new to this) and all I have really done in the hospital pharmacy is fill orders, learn some things about pixis, and learn some of the drug names. The majority of what I have been doing is the techs job which is fine but I feel like I haven't recieved much insight to the pharmacists exact role in the clinical setting. I was wondering what have others experienced through volunteering in a hospital pharmacy and what have their roles been? What has been your experience and what questions have you asked? also what can I do to get the most possible out of this experience without becoming a nuisance to the (always busy) pharmacists? (I have for the most part tried to stay out of their way)
