The facility is a batch infusion center that serves all four of Charleston Area Medical Center&#8217;s hospitals. Charleston Area Medical Center Solutions can produce up to 30,000 IV bags each month, and students were excited to see such a large and productive facility. The tour was arranged by Ross Pharmacy Technician Instructor, Teresa Sargent, and Charleston Area Medical Center Solutions Pharmacist-in-Charge, Terry Prettyman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Charleston-Medical-Solutions-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Charleston-Medical-Solutions-1-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ross Medical Education Center Charleston Medical Solutions\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-15845\" \/><\/a>The students had the opportunity to tour the facility and were even able to see the way that a full &#8220;clean room&#8221; operates. The tour was a great learning experience for students, because it is not something they are able to see every day. &#8220;The students really enjoyed themselves,\u201d said Instructor Teresa Sargent. &#8220;They got to see a lot of different processes in action and learned the importance of what we talk about in class. One thing that really hit home was the necessity of sterilization, even down to the fingertips.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The students learned a lot, but they had fun too! Many were able to come to a better understanding of how the things they practiced in class took place in the field. \u201cI was a little nervous about sterile compounding at first, but after watching them for awhile, I wasn\u2019t intimidate anymore,\u201d shared Pharmacy Technician student Jade Cochran. Other students, like Najaka Watkins, began to consider all of their employment options. \u201cTouring the facility took my thoughts about sterile compounding to a positive level,\u201d said Watkins. \u201cI am now interested in learning more and possibly pursuing that as a career path.\u201d Another student, Amanda Wolfe, appreciated the level of expertise provided by those at the Center, \u201cMr. Prettyman spoke to all of us to teach us more about sterile compounding. The two most important things we learned is to have a competent compounder and the importance of a clean and sterile environment.\u201d The students can\u2019t wait for externship and beyond now that they have seen some of the variety of options for their future careers!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ross Medical Education Center Pharmacy Technician class in Charleston recently took a field trip to visit Charleston Area Medical&hellip;<br \/><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/charleston-pharmacy-technician-students-visit-charleston-area-medical-center-solutions\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16315"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
