@urvamalik
Pharmacy student passionate about clinical pharmacy, antimicrobial stewardship, and improving patient medication outcomes.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Doctor of Pharmacy candidate completing advanced pharmacy practice experiences at a Dallas-based health system, with a solid foundation from pre-pharmacy studies. I bring hands-on experience as a pharmacy technician and a licensed pharmacist intern.
During rotations I developed and launched a SharePoint onboarding site for a Pharmacy Solutions team and conducted antimicrobial stewardship reviews that led to successful de-escalation in over 30 patients. I also developed a student-driven anticoagulation counseling program and performed a Medication Use Evaluation of filgrastim across more than 1,400 administrations.
I have presented posters and CE-eligible grand rounds, and I serve in leadership and professional organizations, including a social media coordinator role. I frequently engage in patient education, vaccine clinics, and community health screenings to improve medication access and outcomes.
I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and focused on applying clinical, informatics, and quality-improvement skills to improve medication safety, antimicrobial stewardship, and patient-centered care in health-system or ambulatory settings.
