“From Pill Counting to Pill Creating: A Pharmacist’s Journey to the Industry”

 

G’day fellow pharmacists!

Have you ever feel like you’re stuck in a rut, dispensing the same medications day in and day out? Ever wonder who’s behind the creation of these life-saving drugs? Well, it’s time to consider a move to the pharmaceutical industry, and here’s why.

Firstly, let’s address the elephant in the room.

Yes, the pharmaceutical industry does “appear” to have more dollar signs than a rapper’s Instagram post. But it’s not just about the money, it’s about the impact.

In the industry, you’re not just dispensing drugs, you’re part of creating them, bringing them to market and ultimately scaling the impact to help mankind. You’re in the driver’s seat of innovation!

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But I don’t know the first thing about the industry!” Well, that’s where my new YouTube channel comes in. It’s like the ‘How To’ guide for pharmacists wanting to break into the industry. It’s got everything from interview tips to decoding industry jargon. It’s like having a mentor in your pocket!

And that’s not all! I’ve had the privilege of interviewing pharmacy owners and other pharmacists who have made the switch to the industry. Their stories are inspiring, enlightening, and full of practical advice. These interviews are available on my YouTube channel, providing real-life insights into the transition from community pharmacy to the pharmaceutical industry.

As the famous saying goes “You’re always one decision away from a totally different life.” 

So why not take the first step and educate yourself:

Because, my honest belief is pharmaceutical companies needs more pharmacists like you.
