A Confused Pharmacy Student's Diary:Episode 2

First Patient.

Life has always created room for a first time, so I expected it but not as fast as it came. The invitation from one of the sales boy whom I later found his name to be DEJI came with too many reactions. My ear contracted in a manner similar to I can't hear you, in a split second all my sweat pores opened up and started crying. My heart was not left out as it skipped 300 times in 1 second. Since propranolol ( a drug used in the treatment of stage fright) was not available at the moment and the patient cannot come and be waiting, I took a deep breath and like a lion I surged towards the patient why making a mental calculation of my incomplete knowledge of pharmacology and hoping to make my unborn children proud.

The patient was a average height, fair and tough looking guy with an almost dirty cap to match his polo whom from my assessment should be in his early twenties. The way he replied to my greeting showed he had a inept understanding of Igbo language, this made me continue in our local language since I could remember Pharm. Maureen's voice (the lecturer that taught my class introduction to pharmacy practice) telling us that usage of the patient's local language is the most perfect form of communication.

After the usual exchange of greetings,

A Confused Pharmacy Student's Diary:Episode 1

Wait! don't let the name deceive you o and you start seeing me as one of those pharmacist wannabes that just wanted to be a pharmacist without studying pharmacy, I am a pharmacy student who was recently introduced to the vast and humongous world of pharmacology with a near little knowledge of Pathology and diagnosis. This was my situation or something worse than this when my faculty decided in it's generosity to send me on an emergency IT.

The frenzy and Euphoria it created amongst my colleagues got me more interested as my first vow of I must go for IT came when as a freshman in the campus, I was lured to attend the first NFCPS fellowship. At that fellowship the way and manner the Magnifique class of 015 brandished and danced from front to back with a fat looking envelope did the job. I won't want to talk about the sad tales I got from my elder colleagues whom told me of how different it is in the practice. I brushed them off saying my case should be different.

Drug Free Club,UNILAG: Message to COMPSSA President-Elect

To the COMPSSA President-Elect, Comrade Adunmoye Ayoade Anuoluwa (Triple A)

It is with strong, unreserved positive vibes that we write to congratulate you on your thoroughly deserved victory!

We must say that the mannerism with which you went about getting the job done is highly inspirational. Emerging from a relatively low-key personality to becoming the Primus Inter-Peres of the Idi-Araba Campus of our great University shows the strength of character, strand of maturity and unbridled confidence that resides in you. It was in fact the "no-noise policy" that was employed by your campaign base that makes us awestruck as it resonates on the consciousness that elections can be still be won without the usually extravagant fanfare.

We however hope that, when the dust settles and power is consolidated, the rallying cries and campaign promises uttered will be largely honored and COMPSSAITES be afforded the undiluted dividends of the democratic process.

Congratulations once more, Sire.

Long live University of Lagos!
Long live CMUL!
Long live COMPSSA!

Signed:
The Executive Team
DRUG FREE CLUB, UNILAG.

Prof Odukoya Wins 2016 May & Baker Professional Award

In what has been described by many as an award long overdue, Professor Olukemi Odukoya, a Fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) and former dean, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Faculty of Pharmacy, has been announced winner of the 2016 Annual May & Baker professional service award in Pharmacy.

The award presentation which took place on November 8, 2016 at the opening ceremony of the 89th Annual National PSN Conference held at Idris Legbo Kutigi Conference Centre, Minna, Niger State had several distinguished pharmacists and fellows of the profession in attendance.

Prof. Odukoya has been credited with several trail-blazing innovations in academic pharmacy.

One of such is the introduction of annual White Coat Ceremony to complete transition of fresh UNILAG students from basic sciences into Pharmacy course work in 2014. This laudable initiative has since been adopted by a number of pharmacy schools in Nigeria, notably Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan.

Speaking with Pharmanews, an elated Odukoya disclosed that much as she doesn’t like being caught unaware, she actually didn’t see the May & Baker Award coming.

“It is true that I have applied for the award before and failed to meet the requirements. This time, I took time to repackage myself well as I have learnt from my past mistakes.

“My message to other aspiring candidates hoping to win the award someday is simple. One can only aspire. It is not about doing something right. Aside brilliance, one must have done something for the profession. Needless to say, I have paid my dues,” she noted.

As expected, a thunderous applause rent the air when the amiable professor of pharmacognosy mounted the stage to receive her award which comes with a certificate, a plaque and an improved cash prize of N500,000.

Past winners of the May & Baker professional service award in Pharmacy included Pharm. (Lady) Adaeze Omaliko, managing director of Malix Pharmacy, Onitsha; Professor (Mrs.) Mbang Femi-Oyewo, MFR, former deputy vice chancellor of Olabisi Onabanjo University; Pharm. Ifeanyi Atueyi, managing director of Pharmanews Limited, Pharm (Mrs.) Margaret Obono, a Fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) and Pharm. Folashade Lawal, a renowned community pharmacist.

In a similar vein, the May & Baker Award for excellence category went to the Lagos chapter of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) for producing the 2016 winner of the professional service award.

We are proud of our Professor,More to come!
