Hello KarenBeth,
Great job!
I just randomly discovered your online blog about the practice of pharmacy in Uganda. I want to commend you for your passion in the profession, and especially for your openness in sharing your skills and knowledge with the people of Uganda
I’m a Pharmacist in the US with experience in multiple practice settings, including hospital, ambulatory, long term care and academia.
I was in Uganda for the first time in December 2105 and had a chance to visit Makerere school of Pharmacy and Mbarara University Pharmacy School. The situation on the ground was so touching that I came back to the US with a pledge to myself of going back to Uganda as often as I could in order to help contribute to the profession out there in any little way possible.
Glad to know you’re doing just that, and based on your very grounded experience in Uganda, I’ll like to get some more insights about the practice out there, and the different ways through which I could be of help while out there.
Thanks for all you do!
Cheers,
Robert.
