00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:16.950 Geoffrey Kist: More proficient in one class or the other, so maybe like focus more and classes that you're struggling with and just make sure to reach out if you need help or your us, you have, like all your classmates and there's a. 31 00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:22.740 Geoffrey Kist: places that that help you to reach out if you need help, but it's just important that. 32 00:04:23.370 --> 00:04:29.430 Geoffrey Kist: don't over commit yourself but don't sign up for a ton of organizations so i'm going to do this, this this and this. 33 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.970 Geoffrey Kist: Before like you'd get a feel of how the school loans, going to be so, I feel it's important just. 34 00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:43.290 Geoffrey Kist: Like just like go in, like a little bit like you don't have to go if there's one thing you want like in early in the first year like you can go for it. 35 00:04:44.130 --> 00:04:49.680 Geoffrey Kist: I advise advise only going for like one or two things early on, and maybe, just like experiencing arrest or. 36 00:04:49.920 --> 00:05:04.080 Geoffrey Kist: You cannot attend the meetings like you don't have to be a part of a Sunday organizations to accept attended meeting so or you might go from but different meanings to different days you can experience what each organization is about and find what really interests you. 37 00:05:06.690 --> 00:05:09.330 Juliana Brammer: Thank you so much on your God have and. 38 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:30.600 Aanye Gafrey: same thing, like what Jeffrey said I think time management and organization is key, when you're in pharmacy school because she could get caught up in trying to get involved in so many things, but you ultimately school is your top most priority. 39 00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:31.950 Aanye Gafrey: So you want to make sure you're.

40 00:05:31.950 --> 00:05:40.980 Aanye Gafrey: Managing your time efficiently and at the same time, you want to get involved into stuff in school, but you want to make sure you organize your time. 41 00:05:44.910 --> 00:06:02.010 Joey Han: I agree completely agree with what's been all said I think it's important for you to not overload yourself it's important to get involved, but the first priority is getting you know coursework done so, you should focus on. 42 00:06:04.650 --> 00:06:15.090 Juliana Brammer: Thank you absolutely that's very good advice you know kind of start slow dip your toes in the water, a little bit and then see where your interests lie, where you want to go a little bit further. 43 00:06:16.290 --> 00:06:21.390 Juliana Brammer: and always check in to see if, like this little too much, maybe we need to back off on something. 44 00:06:23.070 --> 00:06:38.370 Juliana Brammer: So in that theme kind of Category I guess you know, is there any campus resources that you've used that you felt was helpful in you know learning how to study differently for pharmacy school i'll start with you. 45 00:06:40.530 --> 00:07:01.170 Aanye Gafrey: So I know my second, the end of my first semester I utilize academic coaching is basically one he's more of a faculty Member they take their time to meet with you, once a week to go you're teaching skills or sorry learning skills, I mean how. 46 00:07:02.550 --> 00:07:07.620 Aanye Gafrey: For the sort of get a baseline of how you how you study and. 47 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:24.420 Aanye Gafrey: They recommend tips and tricks, you could use to help you study and more efficiently, then they check in with you, every week, so you guys have a meeting we usually use to meet in the SMC Center so then we with you, once a week, they go over. 48 00:07:26.070 --> 00:07:36.630 Aanye Gafrey: How the tips they like they recommended how it's helping you out in school and your coursework and all that and sometimes he used to.

80 00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:55.200 Aanye Gafrey: it's more of a systematic review, where we over paper, so we could still do it virtually so um it's a good opportunity to reach out to professor's once you get a good. 81 00:11:56.280 --> 00:12:00.360 Aanye Gafrey: feel of pharmacy school, you can reach out to Professor and they're always willing to. 82 00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:05.070 Aanye Gafrey: Take on students because you're you're gonna learn stuff. 83 00:12:06.390 --> 00:12:12.930 Aanye Gafrey: As you go, which is beneficial for pharmacy school also like the one research project we're doing right now is how. 84 00:12:15.630 --> 00:12:29.700 Aanye Gafrey: em health, which is more of a an application, how it helps children with for taking certain medications so it's beneficial, in a sense that we learn about psychotropics So it goes hand in hand a. 85 00:12:30.870 --> 00:12:36.600 Aanye Gafrey: course work also so that's basically the main research project we're working on right now. 86 00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.550 Juliana Brammer: And I enjoy you know you're doing a dual degree talk. 87 00:12:41.670 --> 00:12:42.150 Juliana Brammer: about that. 88 00:12:44.250 --> 00:12:51.600 Joey Han: So the beauty of our school program is that the from the students can pursue dual degrees. 89 00:12:53.400 --> 00:12:58.350 Joey Han: There is the particle kinetics and there's the regulatory sizes and there is. 90 00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:07.320 Joey Han: jd if you wanted to pursue that one i'm currently doing the regulatory sciences, everything is.

91 00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:09.360 Joey Han: online. 92 00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:23.160 Joey Han: you'll be working with teammates to do coursework and I think it's really a great resource, then you can use when you're in the University of Maryland. 93 00:13:23.790 --> 00:13:44.190 Joey Han: Because you have to do electives anyways and then you can use the dual dual degree program courses towards your electives rather than just doing electives for the sake of getting all the electives done also I think it's if you've started in the. 94 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:57.480 Joey Han: The SEC, the Spring semester, I believe, of the p2p year your whole degree will be free, except for the ged Program. 95 00:13:58.020 --> 00:14:17.220 Joey Han: And if you start from the fall of 24 all of your p3 year you'll be just paying for one semester dust for the summer semester so it's a very cost efficient way to earn another degree and to learn more about what you're don't learn in class, but you would. 96 00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:36.660 Joey Han: When you can learn more about the promo code kinetics thermal called metrics is more like designing pk and all that stuff and regulatory sciences that's more about how the FDA does how the other regulatory affairs are involved in getting the drug into the market. 97 00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:42.780 Joey Han: So yeah that's it and I would highly recommend you utilize that. 98 00:14:44.370 --> 00:14:46.410 Juliana Brammer: Thank you very much, just to clarify. 99 00:14:47.280 --> 00:15:03.120 Juliana Brammer: If that's true that if you take curtis during the fall and spring that if you're a full time student you're not charged extra with some of those degrees if it's in a different schools, such as the business degrees, that we have a farm D MBA. 100

00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:16.890 Juliana Brammer: Some sometimes there is an extra expense, depending on the degree, but definitely our in house masters, I know we're probably the most flexible with that and that's regulatory science or moko metrics Those are the two hour. 101 00:15:18.870 --> 00:15:39.900 Joey Han: Mark so renders doing the i'm sorry um my friend, is doing the University of baltimore the dual degree program with the mda I I think that's fully online as well yeah not sure about the the the College, part one, I think I think some of the has to be like in person correct. 102 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:47.430 Juliana Brammer: that's correct UV is all online and the College park does have may have some in person requirements and they may take a little longer. 103 00:15:47.910 --> 00:15:49.080 Juliana Brammer: And again, you know. 104 00:15:49.110 --> 00:15:56.940 Juliana Brammer: Once you complete your firm D, if you have additional time to complete the second degree, then obviously like the tuition would pick up with that second degree. 105 00:15:58.470 --> 00:16:05.640 Juliana Brammer: So, but it depends, I know, we do have one at least one student going through the College park from DC so. 106 00:16:06.690 --> 00:16:19.530 Juliana Brammer: Thank you um let's see and maybe one last question before I turn it over to our guests, which is tell me, you know, one of your favorite things to do, or places to do more. 107 00:16:24.510 --> 00:16:31.980 Aanye Gafrey: So I mean me and my friends, you know the one hour break lunch break we have we usually go to nando's. 108 00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:45.780 Aanye Gafrey: For that break because I nando's about five minutes from the school so that's where we usually go for lunch break sometimes not all the time, but we usually go and. 109 00:16:47.070 --> 00:16:59.160

182 00:26:53.820 --> 00:26:59.070 Lotanna Ezeofor: rounds so far that you guys have had since I guess come into pharmacy school. 183 00:27:05.130 --> 00:27:06.120 Joey Han: I can talk about it. 184 00:27:07.590 --> 00:27:14.820 Joey Han: So I didn't have a bachelor's degree, so I just did the two two and a half years of. 185 00:27:16.530 --> 00:27:33.030 Joey Han: undergrad work and just did my the prerequisites and came to the pharmacy school the p one winner was definitely a bit tougher tougher for me than other people who actually completed their bachelor's degree program because most of them actually. 186 00:27:34.050 --> 00:27:49.110 Joey Han: went ahead and did the course work that we will be doing in the p one year, so in the p one year if if for a person like me, it would be hard to do our words about work life that student. 187 00:27:49.770 --> 00:28:01.350 Joey Han: friend balance but I, I can assure you that when you kind of like you know go study through and it gets you know that that accumulates and you get the knowledge. 188 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:15.210 Joey Han: And once it accumulates you get in the learning curve and things become easier and you would have more time for your friends or your family or other word, but before that had some it's going to be tough and. 189 00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:25.590 Joey Han: it's you should try to kind of manage your time and change your schedule a little by little, according to the school schedule. 190 00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:31.080 Lotanna Ezeofor: Thank you. 191 00:28:33.810 --> 00:28:37.380 Juliana Brammer: I would say it's definitely a transition, I know, and like I said it's.

192 00:28:38.310 --> 00:28:47.610 Juliana Brammer: Obviously, been an abnormal for some time now, but it's it's always a transition from to getting to a new city to graduate school it's like. 193 00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:56.850 Juliana Brammer: Just the volume of like work that you have right so i'm just getting to know you know those different techniques and. 194 00:28:57.210 --> 00:29:05.040 Juliana Brammer: Using some of those resources that we're talking about and getting to know what works best for you, you know and also like I said leaning on each other. 195 00:29:05.670 --> 00:29:14.160 Juliana Brammer: Dr Lisa was saying that you know join study groups, she said, you know she graduated from Maryland some time ago, and she said that she would have like a safer just to. 196 00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:25.980 Juliana Brammer: You know, to study with you know, without much discussion and then some essays that they would really go into you know staying for an exam prior to so it's really what works for you and. 197 00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:32.580 Juliana Brammer: You know, getting to know each other and supporting each other and knowing the campus supports as well. 198 00:29:41.820 --> 00:29:44.610 Juliana Brammer: All right, any other like words of wisdom from our panelists. 199 00:29:48.030 --> 00:29:49.350 Geoffrey Kist: I would just say that. 200 00:29:50.310 --> 00:29:54.690 Geoffrey Kist: Like when you're adjusting the school like it's important to like keep it balanced like don't. 201 00:29:55.350 --> 00:30:05.040 Geoffrey Kist: don't want just always study mixture like leave time for family, friends, I just because it's graduate school doesn't mean you're going to be working 24 seven so it's just.

202 00:30:05.790 --> 00:30:16.380 Geoffrey Kist: Keeping yourself keeping yourself scheduled know like that you set aside time for studying for work and then for family and friends right so it's not like a. 203 00:30:16.860 --> 00:30:25.380 Geoffrey Kist: Like obviously it's a lot of work and, like you have to like stay on top of it, I don't think that just because it's a lot of work that I don't think you're going to be doing his work. 204 00:30:27.540 --> 00:30:28.230 Juliana Brammer: Thank you. 205 00:30:31.170 --> 00:30:32.700 Juliana Brammer: yeah definitely getting to know your own. 206 00:30:35.820 --> 00:30:39.360 Aanye Gafrey: sounds like to say it's important to hold yourself accountable. 207 00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:49.410 Aanye Gafrey: For the entire time when you're in pharmacy school, yes to make sure you set realistic goals for yourself realistic but achievable goals you want to make sure you're. 208 00:30:51.630 --> 00:31:00.000 Aanye Gafrey: Putting your best foot forward, because even though it's like definitely said it's Grad school you still want to get involved, you still want to. 209 00:31:02.280 --> 00:31:05.190 Aanye Gafrey: Make sure y'all good grading when you graduate obviously but you also want to. 210 00:31:06.390 --> 00:31:11.550 Aanye Gafrey: going to go see time organization is key, like we said earlier, and just. 211 00:31:12.930 --> 00:31:18.330 Aanye Gafrey: enjoy the experience of pharmacy school, so one time thing, so you want to enjoy the experience also. 212 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:22.470 Juliana Brammer: Most of our students enjoy your summer.
