E-portfolio Master’s of Pharmacology: Jayla Gillis

 This month had a lot going on as we neared the end of this program. For volunteering, I continued once a week on Tuesdays at Touro Health from 4pm-7pm. At times the ED can be a little boring as there aren’t many things happening all the time, however, I still take the opportunity to observe the staff and how they interact with the patients. I feel as though I am gaining a lot of nuanced experience by just by observing some of the tasks and how they handle situations that I otherwise would not be exposed to.  April was filled with a bunch of stuff to do an dit defiantly kept me busy. Starting with the pharmacology crawfish boil. It was such a beautiful day and it was nice to chat with my peers and faculty about further plans. I also loved it because I am obsessed with crawfish and especially from New Orleans because crawfish from Georgia is not the best. After that we had the NBME which was pretty difficult fro me. I struggled on effective studying and it really stressed me out. On top

 This month I continued to volunteer in the emergency department at Touro Health. I volunteered from 4pm-7pm on the 7th and 14th. I am a starting to get the hang of things in the department and meet new medical personnel in the department. I also am enjoying listening to the nurses talk about what they are administering to the patients. I am able to recognize a lot of the drugs which makes me excited as well. This month has had a lot of social events that I enjoyed very much. The first crawfish boil of this month was really good but cold! I love crawfish so I was excited to go and meet new people. I wish the weather was a little better because I couldn’t stay long. The pharmacology crawfish boil had much better weather and was very enjoyable as well. It was a great way to take a study break and enjoy each other’s company with the great weather. It was also my first time at the Fly and it was really beautiful. That is definitely a place I will go back to take a walk or do some studying.
