Welcome back! This episode focuses on our first endpoint: communication. As we explore what endpoints will result in successful future pharmacists our first stop is communication and how being an extrovert or introvert and thinking or feeling type (MBTI categories) will impact how you might express communication and ways that you can grow. As pharmacists our roles will require high degrees of communication no matter the practice setting so join us as we look deeper into communication. After all, communication is key!  References American College of Clinical Pharmacy, Holt SL, Lau MS, et al. Tenets of professionalism for pharmacy students.

Becoming THAT Pharmacist. This series will traverse the key elements that help to create successful future pharmacists through incorporating MBTI behavioral traits, research within pharmacy education, professional thoughts and opinions, and student perspectives. Ultimately, we hope to guide listeners to uncover what it takes to become THAT pharmacist.   A note from the host: These discussions are the culmination of findings from an independent research project and thorough literature review I have conducting during my P2 and P3 years in pharmacy school to answer these questions.
