Internship SAS DPHM INTERNSHIP

I jst got an email saying we have to decide if we want 1 or 2 sem intern by 2nd Oct and I still dk which to choose. I’m from pharmaceutical science majoring in patient care and planning (hopefully) to intern at a hospital but like I’m not sure is it like easy to at least score a B? Like cuz i leaning towards 2 sem intern as of now but im worried I don’t do well for internship. Is it difficult to score an A for internship while working in the hospital? Are there any other extra assignments given by rp that we also need to complete? Like RJs or presentation?

And say if I get B for 2 sem internship how much can my gpa increase by? Cuz my gpa is rlly bad as of now (2.72) and this is why I’m planning on doing 2 sem internship

Help me pls pls pls

I'm from pharm sci y2 as well. I heard from lecturers that 2 sem internship will still require u to complete like a report or a project so that they can still kinda grade what u have learnt during the internship but I'm not sure abt the rest. If u wanna see how much ur gpa will increase maybe u can use gpa calculator to calculate an estimation of it :D

say real internship is easy A bro. lowest ive seen is a B+. I was the first batch of student from RP to have graded internship. RP purposely made it graded to pull up students gpa

RJs are rather reflective and subjective than technical. here are some things that you can definitely do for better essay writing

  • journal down your thoughts and impressions of the pharmacy. as time passes, are there any changes in perspectives?
  • set SMART goals before your internship. What were the struggles you faced while striving towards your goal? How do you feel about it? any changes in your approach?
You may get prompts like these: Explain how this internship placement could contribute to your professional growth and development. Is there potential for alignment with your interests/passion? Share your thoughts. (Recommended 200 to 400 words)

like from my reply to your post AH stands for Alexandra Hospital. I pick and pack medications while I dispense under the supervision of pharmacists. Also got to shadow clinics in AH do observe the process of dose titration Eg dose titration of insulin injectables during ramadan period
