Aaron's Teaching Portfolio

       After graduating from University of Louisiana at Monroe's School of Pharmacy in May of 2017 with my Doctorate in Pharmacy, I started post-graduate training at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences - Northwest Campus (UAMS-NW) in Fayetteville, AR in July of 2017. I then started working for Albertsons Pharmacy as a clinical Pharmacist- part time relief travel pharmacist based out of Lafayette, LA until March of 2021. I then became Pharmacy Manager of Walmart Pharmacy in Abbeville, LA on March 6th, 2021.

Career Goals: Community Pharmacy, Family Medicine, Ambulatory Care

• • Medication Therapy Management, Immunization Clinics, Travel Health, Diabetes Education and Management, TeleHealth Services, CPR Trainings, Technician Immunization Training, Wilderness Emergency Trainings, First Aid Trainings, Pain Management/ Opioid Stewardship, COVID-19 Vaccines Hesitancy.

  • Other ambulatory care disease states of interest: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD, asthma, weight loss, smoking cessation, etc.

Future of Teaching:

I hope to apply the lessons learned from UAMS's Teaching Certificate Program as a future practitioner in the community setting by acting as a preceptor and role model to current pharmacy students. 

I also hope to educate non-pharmacy learners by engaging in guest lecturing or coaching on various topics stemming from my extracurricular interests from military history to coaching lacrosse teams. In addition, I hope to bring valuable CPR instruction to various healthcare practitioners and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Participation in UAMS's Teaching Certificate Program has allowed me to become a more confident disseminator of knowledge and a more confident practitioner. The principles learned through the program not only correlate to improved formal classroom skills, but also led to improved connections and consultations with patients.
