Medication reconciliation is the focus of the elective, but it encompasses much more. The students, along with a nurse or physical therapist, visit patients after they have transitioned from a hospital or nursing facility back to their own home. While the nursing student checks vitals and performs dressing changes, the pharmacy student is reviewing the medications in the home and comparing it to the discharge paperwork. “ “ I played an active role in collaborating with other members of the health care team as they continually strive to improve patient care and increase medication adherence. This experience exemplifies the interprofessional collaboration that is a top priority in today’s healthcare arena.” ‑ MCPHS Pharmacy Student The VNA gave me the opportunity to witness first hand the significant impact a patient’s home environment can have on their journey back to wellness as they attempt to manage multiple health issues with limited resources.” ‑ MCPHS Nursing Student School of Pharmacy For information on becoming a preceptor contact: Office of Experiential Education Phone: (318) 342-1215 email: csmith@ulm.edu www.ulm.edu ” following preceptors for their hard work and dedication.
