Label: Research
Due Date: Thursday September 11 by 8AM
Based on what you have done for your senior project so far, answer the following questions (be specific and use examples).
1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.
During summer, I did not stress to find my mentor. I have simply asked my mom if she knows any pharmacists, then she called up Andrew. Andrew is one of the few pharmacists my mom knows due to the fact she goes to that pharmacy to drop off the medication from her work place. I do recall going to that clinic, Del's Pharmacy 1, a couple times, but didn't step foot inside the place. After my mother called Andrew, I was allowed to come by the pharmacy to start my mentorship. But I could only go on weekends because they are less busier than the weekdays. Since it is a closed-pharmacy that means no interaction with customers, so the atmosphere there is very relaxed and quiet. Andrew is very kind, he said that I am allowed to come as much as I wish t observe more of his work and to ask as many questions I have for him. I have only been at the pharmacy a few times and the description on my view of that clinic is an expansion of the back f a regular pharmacy clinic except twice as big in every station.

2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
The one article I have been fond of was "When the Patient is 'Noncompliant'" by Danielle Ofri, M.D. This article explains the opposite of patient compliance, noncompliance, is when a patient is not following all direct orders from doctor, pharmacist, or medical officer on how to take their medication. Once a patient has been known as 'noncompliant' then all medical officers will have to make sure that specific patient knows how to their medication exactly.
I admire this article by how it explains a positive side of the patient compliance issue, the noncompliance. Those who were known as a noncompliant patient have been helped by their medical officer. Some had been improve to know their daily routine for taking their medication and there were some who were still in the process of practicing. These patients had more support from their medical officer to change their lifestyle and daily habits. But for patient compliance, they seem to fall in depth of taking in their own self care; thinking they know what they are doing if they change their tactics when taking their medications. By patient compliance issue it causes great consequences. At the end of this article, the author tells a personal story of her experience with someone who had a patient noncompliance. She refers to her story towards the audience as the sad truth.
