*Tylenol (acetaminophen) Advertisement*
Tylenol is a pain reliever and a pain reducer.
Tylenol is used to treat many conditions such as headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers.
Important Information:
You should not use Tylenol if you have severe liver disease
An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.
Call your doctor at once if you have nausea, pain in your upper stomach, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes).
Stop taking Tylenol and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.
Welcome back everyone to our new segment of “Iconic bonds” where we bring guests from different fields of study to see how they contribute to our society.
Today we have Zainab and Kevin, pharmacy students from the University of New England.
Talk to us about why you chose pharmacy
Why do you think this is the right path for you?
With this misconception that pharmacists only work at CVS or RiteAide in the back counting pills and handing them out, are there more to what pharmacists actually do?
The pharmacists that we see at CVS and RiteAide are called community pharmacists.
“They use their expertise to prepare and dispense prescriptions, ensure the medicines and doses are correct based on the patient’s health and other factors, and counsel patients regarding safe and appropriate use of medications.
However, fewer than half of all pharmacists work in community pharmacy settings.”

New Drug could Treat Most Aggressive Form of Lung Cancer
Scientists have found a new drug that could possibly treat small cell lung cancer, the most destructive form of the disease. Currently, this drug is undergoing clinical trials and could potentially be used to treat patients who have tumors that are not affected by chemotherapy treatment. The medication works by analyzing energy production in cancer cells as a means to prohibit tumor growth.

Reflection of dry-dry run:
From watching the dry-dry run video, I noticed the things that are working and the things that aren’t. I think it’s a good idea to keep the advertisement. It makes the talk show seem realistic. It also makes a good transition to the segment, assuming that we were coming back from an ad. We have a solid idea of what we want to talk about but we need to figure out the roles of the guests. This is a very important part to recalibrate on before recording the dry-run. That way we can use what we know and put it into an actual script that fits our roles so we can go off of. Working as a group has its pros and cons. My group was working well together, we all listened to one another and when someone needed help or got stuck on one thing, someone would back them up and build off of what the other is saying. On the other hand, it’s difficult to find a time where we all can meet and work on the outline. We are planning to meet on Monday before class to work on the script and try to get something together for the dry-run.

Reflection of dry-run
From watching the dry run, I learned that our choice of having a “professor” and a student as the guests on the show works better with our idea of having a study. The “professor” introduces the study and the student talks about what drew them to the pre-pharmacy program and how they contributed to highlighting the opportunity students in doing research. The study is something different than what other groups have and it brings contemporary research into the project. I think the segment of the advertisement works very well with the show. The advertisement covers the pros and cons of Tylenol which is something most advertisements have. I think the questions help bring thoughtful answers. However, I would like to work on my answers to make them sound more professional since I’ll be the “professor”. I think the time for the dry run was about six minutes, which is good, however, we need to keep in mind the intro and outro music. Some of the things that we need to recalibrate on are background music and background images. However, we have an idea of what we want them to look like.

Welcome back everyone to our segment of “Ionic bonds” where we bring guests from different fields of study to see how they contribute to our society.
My name is brooke and Today we have Dr. Jabor, a professor from the University of New England and Kevin, a pre-pharmacy student from the UNE. And they’re here to talk about their groundbreaking discovery.
So tell me a little bit about yourselves…
- I know there is this common misconception that pharmacists only work at CVS or RiteAide in the back counting pills and handing them out, is there more to what pharmacists actually do?
There’s more to pharmacists than what most people think. The pharmacists that we see at CVS and RiteAide are called community pharmacists. However, fewer than half of all pharmacists work in community pharmacy settings. There are community pharmacists, ambulatory care pharmacists, cardiology pharmacists, hospital pharmacists, and more.
- What is the role of pharmacists?
Pharmacists use their expertise to prepare and dispense prescriptions, ensure the medicines and doses are correct based on the patient’s health and other factors, and counsel patients regarding safe and appropriate use of medications.
- Talk to us about the pharmacy program at the University of New England
At UNE we have a 6 year pharmacy program, 2 years of undergraduate classes at the Biddeford campus after that students go to the college of pharmacy at the Portland campus for 4 years to get their PhD. With their degrees they can take different paths depending on their interests.
- Kevin, why do you think pharmacy is the right path for you?
I believe pharmacy is the right path for me because I really enjoy helping people but I don’t enjoy the hands-on aspect. I would prefer to work in the background by getting people the medicine they need instead of having to deal with all of the blood and gore.
- How is the school work load?
Difficult but manageable
Time management
Help from teachers and other students
- I understand this is your first year as a pre pharmacy student, do you have a path you are interested in after you graduate?
Work in the ICU
Working as a team
- You have made an outstanding discovery with your recent research, what has been the most rewarding thus far?
From our research we have found a new drug that could possibly treat small cell lung cancer, the most destructive and aggressive form of the disease. Currently, this drug is undergoing clinical trials and could potentially be used to treat patients who have tumors that are not affected by chemotherapy treatment. The medication works by analyzing energy production in cancer cells as a means to prohibit tumor growth.
- Kevin, how did you contribute?
I contributed my coming in out of class time to help professor Jabor by setting up her lab area and getting all of the starting stages. Making sure all of the necessary tools were clean and available. I would also write any observations from the study.
I just want to thank everyone for watching, and a really big thank you to our guests Dr. Jabor and Kevin, congratulations on your discovery, and I hope you continue to do great things for our healthcare system. Remember to watch the Brooke show, every monday 2-3;20!

Reflection on process/role in group:
For speech four, we have decided on making a talk show. I’ll be one of the guests on the show. My role would be to talk about a recent pharmaceutical discovery, educate people on what pharmacists do and the field. To prepare for the show I’ve researched some of the recent discoveries and chose three to discuss them with my group and see which one we would want to talk about. I have some details on what pharmacists do. I would like to talk to my group and see if me and the other person should split up the two topics between us to see if one of us should talk about either the discovery or the job of the pharmacist. Other than that I think I have a rough idea of what my working outline would look like but I need to meet with my group to finalize everything. That way I’ll be able to get started on my personal working outline and then meet with my group again and combine all of our outlines to make a final outline with everyone’s role. That way we can make adjustments and start recording. I would also like to brainstorm ideas for a game and possibly an advertisement within the show.
