Hello Listener. 

In this episode you will learn from Dr. Crystal Burkhardt. Dr. Burkhardt is currently a Clinical Professor for the School of Pharmacy, and maintains a practice site at the Landon Center on Aging at TUKHS campus. She offers an ambulatory care rotation with a geriatric focus for APPE students, and will share her thoughts with us on engaging students within this kind of setting. She shares some great insights into not only leading students through ambulatory care rotations, but some ideas on ways to establish and maintain interprofessional collaborative relationships. 

If you happen to work in other fields than pharmacy, I imagine you will still find this episode helpful as we touch on several ideas related to facilitating learning that are not necessarily pharmacy specific.

Here's my reflection after this conversation was recorded. Regardless of discipline, if there are ways in which we see a way to help other colleagues be more efficient, successful, provide more effective patient care or be more productive as an organization- dive in. Get specific with your colleagues. Understand what their goals are and see how you can fit in to that work. Having a specialization is only valuable if you understand how to effectively share that specialization with your colleagues, organization , and community.
