Longitudinal Ambulatory Care? And dear god what is Radiopharmacy/NUCLEAR pharmacy?!?!My classes are named very mundane things like "Curriculum and Instruction: Early Childhood Special Education." Is CVS a nuclear pharmacy?

[sorryseed]

Longitudinal Ambulatory Care is where patients will come in that are on complex medication regimens and I will just go over them with them, make sure they are doing eveyrthing correctly (ie make sure injection techniques are correct, drawing up the amount of drug etc), answer drug-disease related questions, make sure there are no interactions and make sure they are compliant. That's a diabetes clinic so I'm sure I will be monitoring their blood glucose and making dose increase/lifestyle change recommendations.

Radiopharmacy/Nuclear pharmacy is pharmacy that deals with all those radioactive drugs used in imaging and other usually cancer related treatments. It deals with all the special storage and handling things ...I really don't know too much about it because it is like the one area of pharmacy that hasn't been covered in any of my classes ...which is why I decided to sign up for it.

i kind of love that you're going to be pharmacist or whatever
also 0 credits?
is this when you'll be working for free too?!

[sorryseed]

This is the working for free I was talking about. ...I'm not sure why it says zero credits that must be a glitch because I do get course credit for these things.
