-: The thing I most love about pharmacy
is that just like medicine, pharmacy is constantly changing,
it's constantly evolving.
There's always learning to be dome.
Pharmacy is definitely not the profession
you want to go into if you just wanna get your degree
and then get out and not have to keep on learning.
One of the best things I get to say is that
I get to learn every single day.
A lot of great articles are coming out and being published
and I try to read at least one article a night
to stay up to date and stay the most current
with the practice.
The biggest challenge for me when I was first starting
is especially because I'm young,
I'm twenty five,
it's developing that rapport with physicians,
there's a lot of physicians
that are in their fifties, sixties and they see some
young kid coming on and he's trying to change
the way they've done things for the last thirty years
and it's definitely building that rapport with physicians,
it's that first couple of months
where it's like showing them
not just coming to them with recommendations,
but the big thing is coming to them with the evidence
supporting your recommendations
and then just getting, developing that rapport
and establishing yourself into your practice
especially since I'm the only one that does my job.
I don't have other people, you know,
that I can go and just,
go and ask questions about.
Luckily I still have a strong network of other pharmacists
that I coordinate with,
but at my hospital I'm the only one.
