Khaberni - Within the vision of the Arab Amman University aimed at preparing scientifically and professionally qualified pharmaceutical cadres, and its commitment to developing personal and human skills alongside academic competencies, the College of Pharmacy at the university organized a specialized interactive workshop titled: "Personality Types: How to Interact with Others Better?", with participation from students of the college from various academic levels, presented by Professor Anas Al-Shweiki, a faculty member at the College of Pharmacy at Arab Amman University.
The workshop focused on providing students with a comprehensive system of personal and professional tools that enhance their readiness for the job market and enable them to keep up with its rapidly evolving requirements, especially in effective communication, professional relationship building, and understanding human behavior in the healthcare environment. The workshop included an analytical presentation of the four personality types, highlighting the fundamental differences between them, and showcasing the best strategies and practical methodologies for dealing with each type’s needs by understanding the behavioral characteristics and features of each type, and the keys to positive and effective communication with them.
Dr. Shweiki also mentioned that professional excellence in the healthcare sector does not rely solely on scientific competence, but essentially depends on understanding various personality types, and the ability to deal with them flexibly and consciously, emphasizing that a successful pharmacist is one who possesses communication skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to read others' needs, especially patients, and deal with them in a humanely and professionally balanced manner.
The workshop witnessed significant attendance and interaction from the students who showed high interest in the presented content, recognizing its pivotal role in enhancing their practical competencies, improving patient interaction skills, and enhancing the quality of communication with community members, in line with the ethics of the profession and the pharmacist's community responsibility. At the end of the workshop, the students expressed their appreciation for the importance of this type of practical activities, reaffirming their desire to expand their participation in more similar workshops that contribute to enhancing their professional skills and raising their readiness to enter the job market.
