Just a quick blog post from Qatar. I don't have time to put too many pictures on here but I must say this has been one of the most amazing experiences of my whole life!
Above is the group that we worked with from Hamad Medical Corp let by Dr. Hoda Badran who is sitting next to me. We worked with them to implement a system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for their pharmacy department. I also gave a lecture to about 60 of their pharmacists on Medication Adherence and Motivating Patients.
The CPD Workshop Team--my good friends--Jen and Mike. We have had the most fabulous time. We feel so fortunate to have been invited by Mike to come to this wonderful country. I could talk all day about the marvelous people, their country and their passion for learning in pharmacy.
(Not to mention, that Mike got us here on the best airline in the world, Qatar Airways, in business class where we got our own set of pajamas and ate a 4 course chef prepared meal.)
Fahtire, Hoda, Jen, CoraLynn, Rasha after our evening in Katera at an Egyptian restaurant. Hoda and Rasha were both born in Egypt. All 3 of these women are amazing. All are about my age and are in management positions in the pharmacy. The background is a hall where concerts occur in Katera.
The first day we visited the Islam Art Museum (where picture #2 was taken) and went to the Souk Waqif which is the open market. This man was from India and he made us bracelets from tree gum using his hands, a stick and a fire plate in front of him. Super neat!
