Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 On the subject of the Explorer, have you heard from any of the current medics on-board? There was talk of changing the role significantly when I did a short stint on it, e.g. medic = safety officer. Stuart.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ny suggestion is: If you do not hear from them within 1 week, call back to ask when would applicants be notified for an interview.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Leon, I went through the same issue when I was being considered for my current Tech. position at another major drug store chain. This is how it 'played out' for me. I take two controlled substances daily for ADD. It took 3 weeks for Corporate to call me back at home about my positive urine test. All I had to do was participate in a conference call with one of the Corporate Physicians and my Pharmacist. They just want to know that you have a current script for what you tested positive for and a good explanation of why you take it. You should 'pester' or show interest to the store GM and the PIC of the Pharmacy to 'remind' them that you are still interested. Persistance will pay off for you as it shows to them that you REALLY want to work for the 'Corporation'... whether you do or not. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well unless you told them they do not know. Congratulations on pharm school. I have no clue why they have not called you. But they should never have sent you to get drug tested unless they offered you the job. Please keep us/me informed. Feel free to email me privately if you would rather.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 - I am watching the job losses trends in the economy, and right now it seems that medical services are one of the few areas not being hurt...so far. I'd suggest you look closely at which sectors are holding up before you try to make a switch. Bessie > > I am thinking about leaving my other job. They aren't that happy with me anyways and I don't think it is helping. I work at a hospital. I figure being exposed to a bunch of stuff isn't helping my immune system along with everything they have in there. Any ideas on a good job that doesn't require exposure to chemicals or sick people that would keep me on my feet? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi Indranil If you do not hold full registration with the GDC you may still be able to work in the UK if you pass the ORE. This examination is held by the GDC and replaces the International Qualifying Examination. The ORE is in two parts. Part 1 consists of written papers covering the subjects of: applied dental science, clinically applied human disease, clinical dentistry, law and ethics and health and safety. Part 2 consists of a practical examination on a dental manikin, an OSCE, an exam in diagnosis and treatment planning and a medical emergencies exam. You need to contact the GDC to find out if you are eligible to sit this examination as there is a new requirement to demonstrate that you have had at least 1600 hours of dental clinical experience of treating patients. The ORE is based in the UK dental curriculum. Candidates are advised to read the GDC document, "The First Five Years: A Framework for undergraduate Dental Education". This can be found on the GDC website. The GDC also provides a list of useful text books. The list comprises of some of the books used in some UK Dental Schools. You may find that you have used similar text books as part of your undergraduate curriculum. If you live in a large city where there is a university with a dental school, it may be useful to look at the books stocked in branches of medical and dental bookshops. You will then be able to make a judgement as to whether you need to buy or borrow new text books. It can be difficult studying for ORE on your own. If you contact your local Postgraduate Dean, you may be able to join an ORE study group / course or be introduced to other dentists also studying for ORE. Dentists who complete the ORE and have no clinical experience may need to do up to 1 year's Vocational Training (VT) to be able to work as a general dental practitioner for the NHS. Success in the ORE does not mean you will automatically secure a VT place or a job in the NHS. It has become very difficult to find a VT training place as there is a lot of competition from UK graduates. Definition of Prior Clinical Experience On the GDC website you will see the following advice about pre-requirements for enterting the ORE: "The overseas dentist must have 1,600 hours clinical experience where they have personally treated patients in the dental chair. The number of hours of this clinical experience will either be hours spent by the overseas dentist undertaking appropriate investigations and administering dental treatment during their dental degree, during post-qualification experience, or a combination of the two. It could also be undertaken during temporary registration. It will not include time observing other dentists or assisting other dentists/dental students in undertaking diagnonsis/treatment planning or provision of treatment. Verification of the prior clinical experience The clinical experience will be verfied. The GDC will request signed references from university Dental Deams for the undergraduate experience and from exmployers for the post-qualification experience. The employers must provide their registration number. The GDC will reserve the right to undertake spot checks to verify references where appropriate. Affidavits will be accepted in only exceptional circumstances where an overseas dentist has proven refugee or asylum-seeker status." It is important to be aware that if you arrive in the UK having less than the minimum 1,600 hours of clinical experience and being unable to sit the ORE, you may put yourself in a very difficult situation. Although the GDC website states that you could obtain experience in a post offering temporary registration, you need to be aware that under current circumstances obtaining such a post will be extremely difficult. You should not rely on obtaining such a post in the UK in order to obtain sufficient experience to enter the ORE. In addition, please check if you have any restrictions on your visa preventing you from applying for training posts. You will not be able to apply for training posts if your visa has these restrictions. If you know that you have not achieved the 1,600 hours of clinical experience required to enter the ORE, you would be advised to seriously consider obtaining a clinical post in the country where you qualified before coming to the UK. If you require further advice on VT places you should contact the Postgraduate Dental Dean in the region where you wish to work. Contact details of Deaneries can be found at: www.copdend.org.uk. There are fewer opportunities for VT in areas around dental teaching hospitals and the south east of England. For any ORE examination queries, please contact the ORE department at the GDC at examsapplication@....

NEVER prevent yourself from answering an add that says preferred. Some times 'experienced' people come with baggage,attitude or high cost. By the time a company has found fault with several experienced techs/candidates, they sometimes decide to oconsider trainees/newbies. Your privilege is to show them you are trainable with the right attitude. That you have the knowledge/didactics and you are ready and willing to learn from them to put it into action. In addition, sometimes after one person leaves and one opening exits, at the same time another opening becomes available. So sometimes the 'ad' will say that there is an (one) opening when in fact there are two openings. And sometimes there are temporary jobs that open, that become full time. This happens sometimes when a female tech is having her first baby. SEll your talents and skills that you have accumulated through out your other jobs in addition to the new knowledge if you have not been to school with labs or externship. Recall most states do not require school. So you can always say you are willing to volunteer or train for 60 or 120 days - giving them more probation period or time to decide to keep you. Here is a link that may help you: http://jobs.businessweek.com/a/all-jobs/list/q-pharmacy+technician/l-memphis,+tn OPTION most newbies do not think about: Try an agency for pharmacy technicians.

But GO to them. I have had a few students do this, and come to find out a person did not show up or had not been showing up or showed up tardy just too many times. The employer hired on the spot and began training (all of my students have had an externship - but every pharmacy operates slightly different and you never stop learning and you do not learn everything on an externship). Just get yourself out there. The more interviews you score the more you learn what to say, how to talke and what they are looking for. In addition, WHEN the right opening is posted/comes along, you will know how to interview better, improve or enhance your resume, so that you will be better prepared for the once in a great while/lifetime ad for a newbie that they will train. :0 Never give up! Also always send a follow up thank you for any phone call, face to face contact or interview you may be given. Sadly some technicians feel threatened when an employer says they will hire someone in addition to the current force. Some feel like the purpose is to cut their own hours or replace them. Be careful when making phone calls, some techs will say there are no openings if you begin with Hello I am a new CPhT and would like to know if there are any openings, or I am answering an ad for a pharmacy technician position. You may be told there are no more openings. ALWAYS ask to speak to the pharmacist or director of pharmacy. As a patient one has the right to speak to the pharmacist. So the tech can not deny you, if you do NOT say why you are calling that tech must assume that you may be a pt and must give the pharmacist to you IF you insist. But do not say you are a patient just to speak to a pharmacist. I am not suggesting that you or any one would, but I do want to clarify so that no one believes that I am advocating that! I do hope that something I have written will help you. Please let me know if it does. You never know. Newbies have to start somewhere! There has to be someone who is willing to train and give you a trial period. I also know that you are posting for a personal referal from a member who may know of an opening that is not on the net or is new. So hopefully someone will post with that.
