Clinical Skills Competition

This blog is a little behind schedule but I wanted to post an exciting event. Aaron participated in a Clinical Skills competition in which he and his good friend, Steve Brown, competed against six other teams at LECOM (pharmacy school). What it is is a patient case, telling you what the medications the patient is on, their lab results, their complaints of pain, etc....then from the condition of the patient that is presented, you have to decide what the goals of therapy are and what your recommendation, as a pharmacist would be.....(pharmacy stuff)...anyways, it is exciting because the two of them WON THE COMPETITION!!!! Yeah!! and now both Aaron and Steve will be sent by the school to participate in the national competition in Orlando Florida this coming December (and compete against all 101 pharmacy schools in the country). I am very excited for them and proud of Aaron.

The next day after he found out that they won, he came home and told me that he received a prize for winning. My eyes got big and I was anticipating that I would see a gift card to somewhere or a big screen television.....then Aaron showed me the prize. It was big alright. A great big pharmacy book. Yep that was it. But I am very happy that he gets to go to Florida and I hope to see him place in the top ten at least. Good work Aaron, you're smokin!!!!
