Watson’s Internship
Testimonials
Yeo Jia Min, Jamie (Class of ’22 Pharmacy student)
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Watsons pharmacy, as part of my PECT community rotation. The experience helped tie up the pharmacy curriculum nicely, with real life application of our pharmacy knowledge and skills. We were able to counsel patients under the supervision of our preceptors, make recommendations and even interventions when presented with prescriptions. The training programme included assignments and tutorials, which was intended for us to learn beyond the curriculum taught in school and beyond what we would normally encounter at the pharmacy. For example, we were exposed to topics such as supplements, vector-borne diseases, wound care and medical devices (eg. the use of inhalers, blood glucose monitors, epi pen etc.). Watsons provided me with a safe space to learn, which allowed me to ask questions, make mistakes and learn from them. My time at Watsons also made me gain huge respect for all community pharmacists out there, as the job is not as easy as it seems.
