On-the-job training
October 27, 2009 Dr. Wesley Nuffer School of Pharmacy University of Colorado, Denver Dear Dr. Nuffer: For the past four months, I have participated in a pre-diabetes/diabetes education program sponsored by your School of Pharmacy and Rocky Mountain Pharmacy in Estes Park, Colo. Earlier this spring, it had been indicated to me by my physician that I had a pre-diabetes condition. About that time, an advertisement in the local paper indicated your diabetes education program was taking clients for the program at the Rocky Mountain Pharmacy in Estes Park, Colo. I immediately signed up. I have been very impressed with the program, primarily working with Jennifer Paul, one of your senior pharmacy students. I have met with her three times, and each time she has been personable, patient, and informative with her time and information. My response has been to exercise more, lose weight, reduce sugar intake, and watch my diet. The results have been very effective. I want to thank you and the Rocky Mountain Pharmacy for its excellent service. It has been very helpful and rewarding to me. Sincerely, Richard Boyer
F
or several years, the School of Pharmacy has been working with pharmacies throughout the state to provide diabetes care and anticoagulation clinics for patients in rural Colorado. Each clinic serves as an experiential training site for senior pharmacy students who provide direct patient care under the supervision of local preceptors and full-time School of Pharmacy faculty members. For patients and communities, these clinics supply a much-needed resource and reassurance. For students, they provide hands-on training. And, for the pharmacies, the clinics offer an additional service by educating patients and putting them on a path to wellness and health. Numerous patients have experienced positive benefits from their interaction with our students. The following letters reflect the responses of patients to the care they have received from our students at one of our sites – the Rocky Mountain Pharmacy in Estes Park.
