On September 11, 2024, Dr. Kiran Kumar from Internal Medicine at Thumbay University Hospital had an interactive session on medical doctor-clinical pharmacist communication in the hospital. Many practical tips were discussed, including real-life incidents and examples that students can relate to.
It was identified as a quality improvement step from the previous academic year that students need more orientation on how to talk to and work with medical doctors. Dr. Kiran has gracefully shared his insights on what a medical doctor thinks about patient care and how he is collaborating with clinical pharmacists at Thumbay University Hospital. Such effective teamwork results in better patient safety.
