First day of winter quarter snooze
I think I'm mentally still on vacation. Yep, I still am. Can you blame me? After the New Year, first class of winter quarter begins at 8am. I'm still a bit dazed. Rumor says that winter quarter of the first year is tough. Look at our schedule:
Anatomy-Histology
Advanced Organic Chemistry
Clinical Pharmacy
Human Metabolism (Biochemistry)
Physical Chemistry-Kinetics
Law & Ethics
That's a whopping 18 units of fun!! Then I have the P&T Competition due in late January/early February. I still haven't found the time to sit down and go through the 100 page Byetta dossier yet. A dossier is a pamphlet (okay, that's an understatement, it's more like a book) produced by drug manufacturers that summarize the clinical trial studies, economic models, budgets of a particular drug, in this case Byetta. The P & T committee basically uses this book to determine whether inclusion of this diabetic drug onto the formulary will be cost efficient for the hospital. That's where I come in, I, along with 3 other team members will role play the P& T Committee. Lots of fun, huh? I'm pretty excited. Anyways, gotta jam-Tahoe meeting in 10 minutes!
