  1. Does technology affect the pharmaceutical field? For my product I shadowed Mrs. Sharon Braswell and volunteered at my mothers job. Nathan Lee

  2. Why I Chose My Topic? • I chose my topic because I wanted to be pharmacist and after getting my degree I wanted to get my MBA. • I am also very interested in technology and this would be very beneficial to me for later on in life.

  3. ResearchMoney • Main street, Kansas pharmacist only made 68,000 dollars in 2011. • Chain average was just over 110, 000 dollars. • Rite Aid in Clayton has an inventory worth $1,287,420 dollars as of 12/12/12

  4. ResearchEquipment • Script Pro 200 fills 150 prescriptions an hour and dispenses 56 different medications. • Pharmacists can only fill about 50 per hour. • RACS is an integrated system that allows pharmacists to check for drug interactions. • Every computer has a fingerprint scanner that you have to scan before filling or delivering a prescription.

  5. ResearchWorkers • Techs save the pharmacists time, by doing simple tasks and refilling bottles. • Machines save time but techs have to keep it maintained and be knowledgeable in doing this. • This year, pharmacists and techs are having to go back to school to learn to administer flu shots. Make more money. • Wellness Ambassador.

  6. Decision • Technology drastically affects the pharmaceutical field and more specifically; is a huge factor for small town pharmacies.

  7. Obstacles • HIPAA doesn’t allow a lot of information to be available to the public. • Numbers don’t describe interactions with people. • Having to revise my paper.

  8. Successes • My mentor was very helpful • Learned a lot about computers and how they work. • Behind the scenes view of things.

  9. Link Between Research and Product • My research paper was about technology being used in pharmacies and I decided to shadow a pharmacist and her staff several times to see technology in action and see it affecting the workers and the customers. • I also volunteered at my mothers job because she works in a lab that handles medicine and technology is the biggest factor in her workplace.

  10. Product • Rite Aid and Mrs. Sharon Braswell • Wake Internal Medicine

  11. What I Learned • I learned that I am good at meeting new people and am good under pressure. I procrastinate and have a serious problem with it. I do like to research new things and like to volunteer.

  12. Reflection • The Graduation was actually a good thing and taught me: • Time management • How to work with new people • Produce a product • This will help me in college and throughout life and my future in business.
