Though the independent study only lasted one semester, one project was carried over. During the summer, I worked on improving the past years\u2019 Self Care I dietary supplement PSA project. I started with a list: simple ways to get the students more involved in the team project. I knew what I wanted to fix, I knew how I would have liked to fix it, but what I didn\u2019t know was how a professor would have accomplished this. What seemed simple at first quickly became a series of hurdles. I came up with two major modifications: add guidelines to the PSA, and create supplementary projects for the individual student to complete. With the assistance of Dr. Hume and the suggestions of <a title=\"Katherine Orr, Pharm.D., AE-C\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pharmacy\/meet\/katherine-kelley-orr\/\">Dr. Orr<\/a>, <a title=\"Kelly Matson, Pharm.D.\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pharmacy\/meet\/kelly-matson\/\">Dr. Matson<\/a>, and <a title=\"Jayne Pawasauskas, Pharm.D., BCPS\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pharmacy\/meet\/jayne-pawasauskas\/\">Dr. Pawasauskas<\/a>, I created a rubric, which would later assess the students on both the PSA and their supplementary project.<br \/>\nThroughout the process, I kept one major goal in mind: I wanted the students to learn how to better utilize pharmacy resources in order to enhance patient counseling. \u00a0Knowing how to interpret clinical findings in a way that is meaningful and relevant to the patient is a valuable asset that cannot be simply taught. This project was meant to be a chance to apply these resources in an educational environment.<br \/>\nNo amount of class work could ever have prepared me for this endeavor. Every aspect of the process was new to me; having never had such an opportunity to work so closely with students and faculty, I was able to gain a perspective from the other side. The process was long, the work was tedious at times, but every challenge made it worthwhile. I have gained a profound amount of respect for the work professors do to create new and interesting lesson plans.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Sydney Springer, Class of 2015<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Student Pharmacist\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chunk\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>Newsletter Article &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/pharmacy\/newsletters\/fall2013\/\">Fall 2013 Edition<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt; Previous Article |\u00a0Next Article &gt; A Student Gets Involved on the Other Side of Teaching Sydney Springer&#8217;s Experience with the Self Care PSA Project I was drawn to URI for their vast research in medicinal plants.
