I have just finished three days of my Medication Use Management (MUM) Rotation. Instead of making me read many documents, my preceptors (Lara Campbell and Richard Cormier) have assigned me a project. I am helping them re-organize them replace some of the therapeutic substitutions that will be removed at VIHA with more user-friend charts. These charts will be used not as therapeutic substitution but as a “guide” so pharmacists can use their professional judgment to dispense equivalent products. So far,  I have made charts for calcium salts, iron salts and hemorrhoidal products.  I will try to post a chart if I am allowed to!

Next week, we will have didactic sessions on topics such as formulary, P & T committees, and databases such as CDR( Common Drug Review).
