Pharmacy tech course

An excellent teacher named Volcy, who work at a hospital in Port du Paix. The course started on 21-31 Aug,the network team Covsky and I had attended. Volcy had show us how to do inventories, and how to stock medications. We learn about how to manage a wear house with medications on how to keep it clean, and the medication should be put on pallets, not on the floor.

Covsky and I learn about different type of medications, their group names and their families. That mean each medications have a family, for example if someone is taking a med and it doesn't work because the person body is use to that med. you can give an other med that's in the same family that will do the same work.

We learn about different types of antibiotics. All of the bacterias you have to know what germ that cause it in order to treat it. For example if the germ is positive, you must treat with a medication that is positive to kill the germ.

We had learn a lot everyday and Volcy is very proud of us and he will give us a certificate on the 17 of Oct.
