member of the pharmacy podcast network with interviews and advice on building your professional network brand and a purposeful second income from students residents and innovative professionals hey welcome to the pharmacy leaders podcast Sunday edition it is 5:30 a.m. on Saturday and I will be going over a number of things with podcasts and blogs but what I'm guessing is on the top of your minds is the match and you have to turn in your results I think in just a little less than two weeks so I reached out to Brandon Dyson TLDR pharmacy comm and he has that book that you can get from his website mastering the match and in chapter 1 he talks a little bit about exactly how the math works and then in Chapter 12 he gives you a checklist of criteria so you can do a self-evaluation sort of on how the rank of programs so I definitely recommend that you go check out TLDR pharmacy comm for that and he has a couple of key points the first is don't try to game it literally just answer where do you want to go most and then what's your dream residency and start there and work your way down you do have to think about a lot of questions to get to that answer but do you want a pgy to within the program do you want to just be able to stay there I know Sean cane us stayed up in Chicago for both of his bgy one feed you - do you prefer an academic medical center if you're going to be going into a hospital now for me I really wanted to be in a town where there was a School of Pharmacy really close to where we were living in we literally could walk to the local I say the local college I mean was thirty thousand students at this College itself and then the pharmacy school was just right there do you want to focus on transplant patients cancer patients in the future do you want to live in a big city with lots of fun things to do although as a resident you're not gonna get to see them too much or do you prefer places close to home and are you willing to move what are you willing to do and I think that he does a really great job in his book about explaining how you should go through that but his last advice is don't try to guess which programs are more likely to match based on the interviews don't rank a place if you don't think you're gonna be happy there the math and the match gives your vote a better priority so the advice to give is match put ranked the top school as the one that you would prefer to be at the most pharmacy girl calm I really enjoyed her last blog post on a definition of coaching I know that she's now doing coaching and I think she's going to be someone that you can really talk to and really get a lot of good advice from but that's Jackie Boyle at the pharmacy girl calm in terms of what's going on with the podcast so this week we're going to have Reilly Poe from Drake University on Monday I actually just put out a hey I've got a couple of spots open in February on Instagram I'm still trying to work on that you know I just broke 10,000 subscribers on YouTube and I think I have like 200 or 300 on Instagram so not much of a network there but he was nice to know say hey yeah you know I'll go for it and I got to tell you I was just blown away when I when I interviewed him I've never met the guy he just I did all the questions just from the top of my head I just kind of went with the conversation and his answers were just spot-on all the time and he has some really great advice about you know what you should what you should be doing as you're you know kind of looking towards residency kind of looking towards the future and I thought if there's one guy that has given some great advice on that kind of match process and we didn't talk directly about the match process but the way that he talks about things about goals about the future about taking risks about going out there and doing things that are innovative and some and exciting that I think you're gonna get a ton of value from this Monday on Wednesday and we're gonna hear from Jane Allen who is the works at high V as a store manager down here in Iowa but she actually interviews two AP PE students which is kind of cool my ap PE student Ashley are indoor fur and then her own ap PE student shannon moore from Drake University and then on Friday I'll have the interview of my previous ap PE student I always like to interview them get to know what their goals are how the rotation fit into what they like and of course give them some social exposure as well it's always important that your LinkedIn or your resume literally speak with some audio what else is going on so I I don't think I talked about it yet the Netflix scores are out the new ones for the 2017 class and they went up and I have to say that I really was I was looking at the social boards and I think the social boards have in as the kind of moniker that pharmacy schools are taking whomever and that the scores are gonna continue to go down because pharmacy schools are relaxing admissions requirements and we're seeing the opposite is true pharmacy schools are reducing class size to maintain their to maintain how high their nap flex scores are and then of course the quality of the program and so forth so I think what we might see is a shrinking of pharmacy schools while we're seeing this massive expansion in the number of pharmacy schools as a as a pre pharmacy advisor there are three things I think that students care about the first is our most students going to graduate from the program and right now attrition is around 11% so 89% of students on average will graduate when they enter a pharmacy school when they graduate do they pass the Netflix and mpj II and the first time and I think to the pharmacy school I think it's a little bit unfair to attribute mpj eat too much to them because so many students do residency that how are you as a school in one state going to help a student prepare for another state but the nat flex scores that's all on the pharmacy school and and I think that some of them have brought some in-house programs in giving rx prep those types of things but to make sure students are aware because I think the reason most people students most students fail the nap Lex is that there are obligers that if you go to the Gretchen Rubin comm and do this quiz it it basically says you know you're an obligor is somebody who will put others before themselves and I think what happens is that when you're in rotations you're always putting the rotation first and yourself and the NAP like study second so I don't necessarily think that those that fail it are in any way less educated it's the other way around they may actually put others so far ahead of themselves that it actually ends up to their detriment that being said there was a score in the mid 50s and I'm not going to mention the the pharmacy schools name that's you know they know and I just would be curious to see what AC fieid does because a CPE that's the accrediting body and you know from their own website they say if a program is accredited this professional degree program leading to the doctor of pharmacy degree is judged to meet established qualification education standards through initial and subsequent periodic evaluations and if just a little over half of your class is graduating from pharmacy school I just want to see if there's any kind of action there because this school is not on probation that's accredited and seeing a score like that you know and it's a tiny tiny school only about I want to say it's only 50 so I think 28 of those 50 passed but that is really just I think something would need to be done but I'm just curious if something does get done because we've seen over and over again that you know people are asking well hey let's reduce the number of pharmacy schools and you know they're not going to do anything about that and supply demand is going to take its course and the last thing that I think students want is if they graduate and pass the Board Exam how likely are they gonna get a job and I don't think we have good data on that you're going to see and I've seen it over and over again there is a ton of misleading information out there and I talked to the pre-pharmacy students I'm with but you see over and over again that you know ninety percent of graduates are getting jobs with an X number of months yet their nap Plex score is you know maybe 80% or 70% or even 60% what you have to read is what they're saying is that this percentage of survey respondents are the ones that got jobs and I got to tell you if I graduated from pharmacy school and I got a survey asking me hey what you doing what job do you have and I'm wrong and I didn't pass the Netflix well I'm not gonna send that back so be very careful you're gonna see and I talked to my free pharmacy students about this but you're gonna see hey we got 99% jobs or 97 son of our graduates got jobs within six months those data are completely skewed if you talk about the number of students in total versus the number of respondents to that survey which is a completely different thing okay so I'll get off my soapbox there what's going on with the mother ship pharmacy podcast network there were a couple of I love the pharmacy inspection podcast because it's like super niche like I mean I'm I'm kind of super niche with pharmacy leaders but I'm kind of the Hard Rock Cafe of love all serve all in terms of who I'll interview because I'm just love hearing from other people with interesting jobs and that have interesting careers and you know I'm super happy to talk to most anybody but let me see so the next one was this ap PE rotation that Todd and Aaron put together I'm not sure how that fits in because we're just seeing on social everybody's putting up their ap PE sites that they just got and I just got my rotation students so I'm gonna have six students next year super happy to see them and I only go local I really only have students from Iowa and then the state over but if you're interested in coming to here to Iowa or central Iowa maybe you have some connections here I know most this is bad but a lot of times students make their decisions based on where they're going to be at the time or if they have housing but I understand completely if you're interested in teaching and you're interested in coming in the fall I'd be happy to talk with your pharmacy school but again we're kind of at that time where if you might be able to change and\/or you might have a spot that it didn't work out the way you wanted if you're interested in teaching you will get more face-to-face teaching time here than many many many places out there you will be in front of the classroom small classrooms large classrooms you'll understand what it is to teach online and then of course we'll put you out there on social media if that's something that is interesting to you and then the last one from pharmacy podcast network this week was mobile technology advancements in diabetes care King fit and how it's just kind of amazed what's going on with these types of apps and things like that for patients and I think it's so important that we really start embracing the technology and understanding how we're going to work with them okay youtubers so Kevin Yee had one on there talking a little bit about how we deal with the tragedy in Florida for example but also our patients are talking about it and as a health professional we're somebody that they come to so another thing to talk about there okay so I think that's it I talked about my podcast oh there was a couple of other podcasts I did want to talk about let's see so pharmacy Joe this is a couple weeks back had episode 268 how to study and pass BCPs or any bps exam that was really helpful I'm not taking the BCPs but I really liked it helix talk had one about anticoagulation locked on pharmacy at APHA nancy alvarez dr. autumn stewart lynch court consult had that one on influenza and your financial pharmacist they had an i want to it's one of the Tim's I forget which last names it is but it's the Tim that's in Florida and he and his wife had a conversation about how they came together and how that's a little bit bumpy at first and I talked to my wife about things we've got some possibly very high expenses coming up one of our daughters medicines might not be covered so we might be putting a house payment into that very soon and so I kind of follow those guys and you know we're established so we're not in the oh my gosh what am I going to do but certainly you know when you're paying you know fifteen eighteen thousand dollars a year for a single medication it's going to impact your life in some way well so I'll kind of keep you updated on that and how we deal with it because I think it would be valuable because I know that some of you guys are dealing with things and certainly the graduates with their new student loan debt and things like that so but otherwise I have a good week excited that APHA is coming up in a couple of weeks here yeah it's not far away and I will be there so I hope to connect with you if I haven't connected with you
