Throughout my clinical rotations, I have honed my abilities in both community and institutional pharmacy environments. I have successfully collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to enhance patient outcomes, particularly in managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. My commitment to patient-centered care is reflected in my proactive approach to medication management and my dedication to continuous learning and improvement.
