Student
MCPHS University- Worcester
My name is Smriti Ojha. I am a third-year pharmacy student at MCPHS University- Worcester. I am currently doing Longitudinal Advanced Pharmacy Rotation at Baystate Medical Center, Springfield. So far, I have completed Infectious Disease and Ambulatory Care Rotation. I am currently doing my Community Rotation. My goal is to pursue PGY-1 residency and PGY-2 residency and to become a clinical pharmacist. My current area of interest includes Infectious Disease and Critical Care as I enjoy multidisciplinary teamwork and tackling complex clinical cases.
I am working as a project manager in the Capstone project. I and other Baystate Longitudinal APPE students conducted a Virtual Mock Interview night for P3 students who want to do residency or fellowships, and we are presenting a descriptive research poster during this ASHP Midyear. I volunteered as a Research Assistant and worked with Paul Kaplita from the Department of Pharmaceutical Science while I was in School. I performed research on "Pyrazinamide-induced Hyperuricemia in Patients Suffering from Multi-Drug resistant tuberculosis" as a part of my thesis for my bachelor’s degree.
I am currently working as an Enrichment tutor for MCPHS Worcester P2 students. I tutor pathophysiology, pharmacology, pharmacotherapeutics. I am a member of ASHP and APhA- ASP. I am involved in the postgraduate mentorship program and had participated in the ASHP clinical challenge competition.
