Thank you all for coming up with this new role for pharmacist. It is going to be great. I am one of the concerned pharmacist. What is going on in the field of pharmacy is really very disgraceful. As a retail pharmacist working for big chain, they use you as a slave, cashier, technician, and name it. You have no choice but to continue to work for them.
Meanwhile, you try to get job in the hospital, you could not because you’ve been working in the community pharmacy for a long time therefore you have no hospital experience. You try to apply for residency but you could not because you are not a new graduate.
Furthermore, you try to open your own independent pharmacy, they will not let you practice, you will face the worst low reimbursement ever. I need your help. Thanks

I have been a pharmacist in retail and PBM setting for 25+ years. I have lot of expertise in clinical field. Now I would like to pursue some non clinical options for my career if any one can give suggestions
I’m the same boat as Dr. Edith! Retail pharmacy is such a waste of knowledge and skills. I would love to have some insight.
