Joanne Pauyo, Pharmacy Future Leaders host, interviews Kristi Fritch, a pharmacy student from Belmont University School of Pharmacy.  ABOUT KRISTI FRITCH: Kristi Fritch, founder of Take Heart Health, has been passionate about nutrition and fitness since she was young. While she was learning to manage money in Monopoly, she was also learning how to manage calories and count points. Needless to say, this strict mentality eventually took a toll on her mindset towards food and exercise. For many years, Kristi struggled with a negative relationship with food and tried every diet and exercise program under the sun. After several years of striving to be “skinny” enough, God began to wreck her negative mentality and renew her motivation for a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In May of 2015, she graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Nutritional Sciences and a minor in Business Administration. Shortly after, she began a Beachbody challenge group and learned how to invite the Lord into her health and fitness goals. She finally understood that because of her relationship with Christ, she's already viewed as more than enough. No number on a scale, calories consumed, or inches around her waist can define her worth. Ultimately, Kristi has learned that her pursuit of health and fitness is about strengthening her mind, body and soul. In the beginning of 2016, Kristi decided to help others experience this freedom through her business/ministry, Take Heart Health. Each month, she hosts Fitness Accountability Groups and is always available for individual consults. This Fall, she will begin Pharmacy school in Nashville where she will continue to help others build a balanced lifestyle through strength, support and scripture!

Today's Pharmacy Future Leaders interview is with the entreprenurial blogger Dr. Madeline Acquilano PharmD The Luxe Pharmacist Madeline is in her sixth (P4) year of pharmacy school in Boston, Massachusetts. Madeline states: "I grew up in a small town in beautiful, woodsy New Hampshire. My father had the pleasure (and challenge) of raising three daughters, after growing up in a household with four brothers. Needless to say, as girly as I am now, that was not always the case. I grew up in the woods on our ATV trails; hiking mountains, going on bike rides, and was enrolled in sports my first year of elementary school. I may not have become the star athlete that my father had wanted, but rest assured his efforts did not go to waste. He made me tough; he showed me how to work hard and to never take no for an answer. Ultimately, he showed me how to be a role model to others by being one himself. Fast forward to now many years later; I can attribute much of my success in pharmacy school to those same principles. It has always been my dream to inspire others, especially women, being that I am the oldest, and have two little sisters that look up to me. I believe all women should feel empowered and inspired, not only to go after their dreams (whatever those may be), but to also be a positive role model for other women and our society. I have grown so much over the past five years of pharmacy school. Through the triumphs and the lows of a rigorous program; I have become a passionate future pharmacist, a better leader, a more compassionate person and above all someone that I am very proud to be."  https://theluxepharmacist.com/pharmacy-school/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geily Ward & Joanne Pauyo interview the nation's first Concierge Pharmacist, Ken Sternfeld, RPh., host of the PGX4RX Podcast. Concierge pharmacists are working directly in physicians' offices to personalize chronic care medication management for patients.   In response to the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' call for ongoing chronic care management, concierge pharmacy network RXVIP Concierge is targeting this component in its business model and delivering chronic care medication services at the point of care.   Concierge pharmacists' services can produce better patient outcomes, lower health care costs, and improve Medicare Star Ratings, according to RXVIP director of new business development Ken Sternfeld, RPh.   In this concierge pharmacy model, pharmacists pay a visit to the physician's office 1 day a week and meet with patients to discuss their medications. These pharmacists will review and evaluate drug interactions, dosing, adverse effects, and adherence. Patients will also be encouraged to make lifestyle changes if necessary.   The concierge pharmacists will also handle prescription drug refills and look for generic or cost-saving alternatives, including co-pay assistance programs for patients. Additionally, the pharmacists can educate and assist patients with enrolling in Medicare Part D plans. Patients also have around-the-clock access to the pharmacists.   “The response to having what amounts to a personal pharmacist available 24/7 has been nothing short of spectacular,” Sternfeld states “It is truly a paradigm shift when you consider the challenges at a retail pharmacy of getting any meaningful one-on-one time with a pharmacist.”   More than 90% of patients who were offered the opportunity to see a pharmacist one-on-one at a recent event did so, Sternfeld said.   As interest in concierge medicine and personalized care continues to grow, Sternfeld believes patients will appreciate the time pharmacists make to evaluate their medication regimen and help improve outcomes.   In terms of lowering health care costs, Sternfield pointed to the large portion of patients who are readmitted to the hospital because of poor medication management. He believes RXVIP concierge pharmacists can make an impact on these patients, as better outcomes can lead to reduced prescription medication costs and hospitalizations. “Cost savings will be measurable in every collaborative practice relationship we develop going forward,” Sternfeld said.

Geily Ward, host of Pharmacy Future Leaders, interviews Travis Hornsby Founder of Student Loan Planner.  Student Loan Planner (SLP) is the country's top experts in figuring out exactly what to do with monster student loan debt. If you owe $50,000 to $1 million in student loans, we can help you in one of two ways. SLP create a custom student loan plan made just for you that details the path to debt freedom. SLP connects you with private lenders that will refinance your loans at a lower interest rate. You'll also get a cash back bonus. If you owe more than double your income, might be using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan, or are unsure if refinancing or forgiveness is the right path for you, book the consult. If you already know you should pay back your loans rapidly, then feel free to use the refinancing links. Those are free to use. HOW OUR STUDENT LOAN PLANS WORK SLP consulted on hundreds of millions in student debt, and we've found tens of millions in projected student loan savings for the professionals we've worked with. Some clients have even taken extreme actions after receiving our advice, such as moving overseas, changing their career trajectory, or switching to full or part time. The student loan system in America is extremely complicated compared to what it should be. Because of this complexity, we've found over 90% of our clients five or six figures in projected savings over the life of their loans. SLP charge's a one-time fee for our thorough review. We're not trying to sign you up for a service that's thousands of dollars. For a few hundred bucks, you'll get clarity on your number one financial obstacle. Some readers try to figure student loans out on their own only to make a huge mistake. Unless you would use WebMD to cure your next medical ailment or watch a Youtube video on plumbing if your house floods, you should hire us. Even if you are the do it yourself type, all the materials are here on our blog for you to learn. It'll just take you several dozen hours and you still might make a mistake.  CONTACT: travis@studentloanplanner.com  SCHEDULE HERE:  https://calendly.com/studentloanplanner/catchup  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pharmacy Future Leaders, Geily Ward, Joanne Pauyo, and special guest Bibi Barrios interview the public and ask "What Do Pharmacist's Do?"    Most pharmacists work in a community setting, such as a retail drugstore, or in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital. Pharmacists in community pharmacies dispense medications, counsel patients on the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and advise physicians about medication therapy.    Pharmacists in community pharmacies dispense medications, counsel patients on the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and advise physicians about medication therapy. They also advise patients about general health topics, such as diet, exercise, and stress management, and provide information on products, such as durable medical equipment or home healthcare supplies. In addition, they often complete third-party insurance forms and other paperwork. Those who own or manage community pharmacies may sell non-health-related merchandise, hire and supervise personnel, and oversee the general operation of the pharmacy. Some community pharmacists provide specialized services to help patients with conditions such as diabetes, asthma, smoking cessation, or high blood pressure. Some pharmacists are trained to administer vaccinations. Pharmacists in healthcare facilities dispense medications and advise the medical staff on the selection and effects of drugs. They may make sterile solutions to be administered intravenously. They also plan, monitor, and evaluate drug programs or regimens. They may counsel hospitalized patients on the use of drugs before the patients are discharged. Some pharmacists specialize in specific drug therapy areas, such as intravenous nutrition support, oncology (cancer), nuclear pharmacy (used for chemotherapy), geriatric pharmacy, and psychiatric pharmacy (the use of drugs to treat mental disorders). Most pharmacists keep confidential computerized records of patients' drug therapies to prevent harmful drug interactions. Pharmacists are responsible for the accuracy of every prescription that is filled, but they often rely upon pharmacy technicians to assist them in the dispensing medications. Thus, the pharmacist may delegate prescription-filling and administrative tasks and supervise their completion. Pharmacists also frequently oversee pharmacy students serving as interns. Some pharmacists are involved in research for pharmaceutical manufacturers, developing new drugs and testing their effects. Others work in marketing or sales, providing clients with expertise on the use, effectiveness, and possible side effects of drugs. Some pharmacists work for health insurance companies, developing pharmacy benefit packages and carrying out cost-benefit analyses on certain drugs. Other pharmacists work for the government, managed care organizations, public healthcare services, or the armed services. Finally, some pharmacists are employed full time or part time as college faculty, teaching classes and performing research in a wide range of areas.   Reference article:    Ohio patient, now sober, thanks Kroger pharmacist for talking to him ‘like a human being' https://www.pharmacytoday.org/article/S1042-0991(18)30946-0/fulltext#.W13v8rraSCE.email See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Participants: Geily Ward, Joanne Pauyo, Jamie Kooiker, Luis Urbina * Today we begin our two part segment on Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE). Part I will cover community pharmacy while part II will cover hospital pharmacy.  Questions: NEUTRAL   Ranking sites   Jamie Looked for atypical sites, sites that specialized in something or offered a little more than normal retail I.e. compounding, independent pharmacy Geily Interrogate upperclassmen Wish there was a site to anonymously rank rotation sites There should be a sheet that outlines what the rotation will entail (projects, work environment, duties etc) Joanne Rank sites based on your interests, but also keep the door open to discover new opportunities. If you are not an animal person, then you probably shouldn't choose a rotation at veterenary.             You don't know whether you will like or love something unless you try it. Story about clinical pharmacy Negatives: requirements for the categories during APPE   NEGATIVES   First impressions   Jamie Be honest with what you know, don't stretch the truth otherwise you'll be stuck when it comes time to prove it Geily “If you're on time, you're late!” Dress to impress, personal hygiene is a thing! Please Wash & IRON white coat! Joanne Sometimes first impressions are wrong. So, if you make a mistake by  stretching the truth or looking like a hot mess on the first day, own it and try to improve. You are not going to be perfect. The purpose of rotations is to gain professional experience and skills. Give yourself and preceptor a second chance   Mistakes Jamie Geily (I don't have a personal experience but have advice a preceptor gave me, “if you don't know the answer to the question don't guess, let them know you will research and get back to them promptly with a response… and do it!” Joanne I've made so many mistakes that I don't know where to start. Mistakes are inevitable. (picking the wrong medication SALA, Be honest and take responsibility     Costumers/Patients stories (belligerent, fake prescriptions)   Jamie First patient I ever counseled starting crying uncontrollably when I told her we could not fill her oxy script early. Panicked and said “ Geily Rude customers and how to deal 16 year old oxycodone story (record not on E-FORSCE) Learning the breath for 10 rule Joanne Similar story to Jaimie, where customer got upset when his opioid could not be filled He actually went to several different pharmacies who previously told him the same thing Most of the problems come from a lack of understanding about pharmacy   Speaking up   Jamie If you see something going on and you want to be part of it, ask for permission. Make your interests known in order to get that bang for your buck during rotations I.e. I was super interested in compounding but my preceptor had no idea until I expressed my desire to do it one day While it's important to let your preceptor guide you, don't be afraid to let them know what you're hoping to get out of the experience Geily Be professional about it but express your concerns to your preceptor, if nothing changes then speak to the experentials faculty at your school Take a chance! (follow up on jamie's story of asking for a new position)   Joanne Choose your words carefully and be aware of your nonverbal communication In Jaimie's case, “I am very interested in compounding. Would it be okay if i gained some more experience here” vs. “I haven't done any compounding since I've gotten here. (may be perceived as you are not happy at the site)   Unpleasant preceptors   Jamie Even if your preceptor is not the best, remember to still be respectful and project a positive attitude. When you start to put that person in a box and label them as “rude” or “demanding,” and that's how you treat them going forward and it might just become a self-fulfilling prophecy and will hinder any sort of professional relationship going forward Geily Always remember that every interaction is a job interview No matter what the experience (positive or negative) you will learn a lesson Pharmacy is a small world so be the bigger person (unless you're being mistreated, then speak to experentials faculty at school) Joanne (might have mult preceptors)   Politically correct answer Reflect/Correct “Am I doing something wrong or is there some behavior that is causing the preceptor's attitude” Hour- break , but you take an hour and half break Talk to the preceptor: “if there anything that I can do better?” Constructive critiscism- take it and learn from it If the preceptor says everything is great, then take them at their word and do what the other hosts said be respectful Make the best out of the situation There are really great preceptors who are dedicated to mentoring and teaching students, so don't let one bad rotation or preceptor ruin your other rotations Even if you do everything perfect and you are an angel, some ppl are just not going to like you (for their own personal reasons) You can only control yourself. My first rule is alway: reflect and correct Speak to ppl that you trust to tell u the truth (not yes ppl). Takes two Follow what Geily & Jaimie said But also take care of yourself Don't let this preceptor's behavior define you. Just because he or she doesn't like you does not mean you are going to be a horrible pharmacist. It doesnt mean you are not going to get hired when you graduate Have an outlet to release the negativity through exericising, journaling, or art Geily made a good point that the pharmacy world is small and you don't want ppl saying bad things about you But I've learned recently that some ppl are going to talk about you no matter what you do If its constructive critiscism or true, then it is none of your business One pharmacist told me that “let your work speak for itself.”   POSITIVES   First impressions   Jamie Project that “eagerness to learn” right from the start, if you seem disinterested and bored coming in, chances are likely your preceptor will pick up on it Bring something to take notes with, it helped me remember things that I could mention later Geily If you stand out, they will remember you Be early and prepared Do a little digging, find things out about your place of rotation, so when conversations start you can let them know you are prepared Do a lot of listening, and even though your mom thinks you're the smartest person on the planet, everyone you meet will teach you something new… take it in! Joanne   Costumers/Patients stories (nice, counseling)   JAmie From simple to complex, every encounter really motivated and inspired me Geily Forming relationships with patients is what makes retail pharmacy worth it Patients want to feel like more than just a number Practice listening, not hearing, but truly listening to the patients needs Counseling patient experience Joanne   Great preceptors   Jamie Geily Let them know at the end what you enjoyed on the rotation Express gratitude for their time and how you hope to work with them again in the near future Leaving doors open is always a great idea Joanne   Form relationships Maybe the preceptor can be a mentor for u and advise you and share their experiences It is better to save time and  learn from another's failure Geily: “Than you Luis for a wonderful part 1 of the IPPE segment, we hope you enjoyed our stories and tips as much as we enjoyed sharing them. Stay tuned as we continue this two part segment on ROTATIONS.”   Follow us on instagram and twitter, we want to hear from you.

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Title: Building a Business and Social Network Guest: Mindy Guerra PharmD, CGP Independent Consultant  Today we're going to talk with Mindy Guerra, PharmD, CGP a Drake University graduate and VA Hospital pharmacist who now works as an independent consultant for Rodan and Fields. She started her side gig as a way to connect with others while working full time and being a mother and wife.   Everyone's leadership road is a little different. Tell us where you are now and how you got there?   So, you make a good salary, you have little if any debt, why start working in a side business?   It seems common for many pharmacists to start side businesses and the primary driver really doesn't seem to be money. You struggled with your skin, can you tell us that story?   Many pharmacy owners sell these products, but don't use them. Could you explain the difference between cosmetics and skincare?   You've got expertise as a CGP, but what is it seems this is dermatology and it's not only awkward, but rare to get skin advice from a pharmacist, why is that?   Tell me the benefits of Rodan and Fields, first to the customer.   Now, explain the benefits of R&F to a pharmacist or person trying to become a part of this network.   We're a pharmacist-pharmacist couple whose pharmacy careers couldn't be any different, tell me a little about what you hope for in the next 5 or 10 years in your career.   What's the best advice you've ever given or received?   What inspires you?   How can we best connect with you?   Guerra.mindy@yahoo.com   https://www.facebook.com/mindy.guerra.7 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#PharmacyFutureLeaders  Interview with Maria Sibbel, a pharmacy student at Creighton University who is looking to complete a PGY1 hospital pharmacy residency after her fourth year. She is especially interested in teaching, clinical hospital pharmacy, acute care, infectious disease and emergency medicine. Everyone's leadership road is a little different; tell us what you are doing now and how you got there. I did not start out in pharmacy. I was a medical illustrator working from home. My life changed when my son was born with spina bifida. He was life-flighted over to University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. All the doctors and nurses there where wonderful. They literally saved his life. When I was there I saw the impact the nurses, doctors and the rest of the health care team had on me and my family. I felt that I needed to give back in the same way by getting into the health care field. I was sort of in the health care field at the time as I was illustrating medical diagrams etc. for text books and journals. However, I wanted to do more, so I was looking to go back to school. I looked at pharmacy, PT and OT and with my skill set and background, I felt pharmacy would fit my personality and skills the best. I talked to a friend of mine who had gone through the Creighton University distance pathway and she raved about the program. I started looking into the program and getting more interested, but I still didn't feel like I knew what a pharmacist did. So I went out and got a job as a pharmacy technician at a Hy-Vee drugstore to get a good feel for what pharmacist really do. The more I learned, the more interested I was in becoming a pharmacist. I applied to pharmacy school, got in, and now I am in my fourth year in pharmacy school and actually getting to do some of the things I have been studying. I just find it fascinating. The more I learn, the more interested I am in the field. I also went from community pharmacy to hospital pharmacy during my schooling, because I go an opportunity to get a job at a hospital. I wanted to learn what they do in the hospital pharmacy compared to the community pharmacy. So I started working one full day a week in the hospital pharmacy. The more I worked in the hospital pharmacy, the more I felt that's where I belong. I really enjoy the clinical aspects, but I also enjoy being with people, working with the patients and their families. I enjoy working with the doctors and the nurses as an interdisciplinary team. So I feel that's my path to take.   I have never been to your home but you told me your living room became your library/study place. Tell me about this professional study space you have created for yourself. I wanted to have a bright area. Some people like to study in a cave, I do not. My living room has a big picture window, so I moved my desk in there. I have book shelves all around the room with my pharmacy books all lined up. I have my lap top and my desk top so I can multi task. I might have “Up to Date” up on one computer while I have the lecture up on the other. I am all about multi-tasking and I need a good environment for that. Yes, my living room has turned into a study/library. That's what works for me. How much were you or your classmates able to work during pharmacy school having a more flexible schedule and re-claiming hours not sitting in traffic? Incoming student may wonder “can I work extra hours, 10 hours, 20 hours”? What is your experience during the 3 years you were a distance student? It really does depend on the person. Coming into the program, I hated it when people would say that because it makes it hard to plan. I have classmates that didn't work at all and I have at least one classmate that worked full-time the whole time. That is not the norm. Working full-time would be extremely difficult. I think the majority of people would work anywhere from 10-20 hours a week. I worked one full day about 8-10 hours a week. I was able to do that on the day that the campus students had their labs. We as distance students do our labs for two weeks in the summer. We go to campus where we do labs back to back, but the campus students do their lab on one day a week during the school year. For example, all day Tuesday is lab sessions. So since I didn't have any classes on that day, I would make that my work day and get of my work hours done in one day. That seemed to work for me so I didn't have 3 evenings a week where I would work 3-4 hour shifts. What are some of the disadvantages of an online program? As an online student you have the choice if you want to be very independent and on your own or if you want to create a network for yourself with the other student. I know some students felt that they were kind of alone in the program in that they didn't have the day-to-day interaction with the people they would see in class every day. For me, I took this a step further, and I think a lot of people did this in my class, we formed study groups of people we would keep in touch with on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. For example, I have a friend I got to know pretty well over the summer labs. We would keep in touch and study together for tests. We would ask each other questions that we would come up with to study for the test or maybe try to clarify questions that we had about class before we would ask the professor. Just because sometimes another person understands the material in a different way than you do. So there is that disadvantage of feeling alone if you are not used to being on your own studying, but I think that being on your own studying can be both a disadvantage and an advantage. You don't have that distraction of other people either. I think it was a flexible thing as I could get in touch with people when I wanted to, but they weren't distracting me to go out and party, for example. Tell me about the rotations you have already taken and how they fit into your goal of becoming a hospital pharmacist. How did you decide on which 8 rotations you wanted to do, starting with the required ones and then go on to the electives? We have to do 8 rotations total, each rotation being 5 weeks. The 5 required rotations for us are: hospital, community, ambulatory, acute care and MTM. The electives I chose were the academic rotation with you, hospital administration, and oncology. I chose the oncology rotation because when I did my 2-week IPPE at a hospital in Ames, I saw how much the oncology pharmacists did for those patients and what an impact they had on the patients and their families. So I wanted to learn more about it. I chose the academic rotation to see if I would like teaching and I have to say I really love it. I really like the interaction with the students, especially the pharmacy technician students. Probably because it is a smaller class and I get to know them better. The third elective I chose was hospital administration or management because I like being in a leadership role. I have gotten to know several pharmacists who are managers and I could see myself doing something like that in the future possibly. So I wanted to learn more about that too. What are you most excited about today. I know you've got midyear coming up. What is really exciting you now? I am really excited about mid-year. I have a poster that I am going to present at mid-year. I wrote up a case report on meningitis. We had an interesting case on my acute care rotation this summer, so I will be presenting that. I hope to meet with some of the residency directors and residents that are in this area (central Iowa). I do really like central Iowa, so I would love to get a residence in this area. I am originally from Norway, I came here as a foreign exchange student. I liked it so much that I went to Iowa State University. I have fallen in love with the people of Iowa, the places here and would like to practice in central Iowa. It excites me that I am getting close to being able to practice what I have been learning in school and at the same time excited about possibly doing a residency and getting to do more of those rotations. I don't feel like I have enough electives for this year. So I would love to do residency in order to get to do more specialty hospital rotations. I would also like to do a residency because my dream job is getting to do both academics and clinical hospital pharmacy as a career. What is your best daily ritual to keep you on track? Creating a schedule really helps me. Especially, in the beginning when you are trying to set up that routine. I even had a schedule set up that said which subject to study for how many minutes each day. I pretty much had each minute planned out for the first semester and then adjusted it from there. So I think that something that really helps me is having that schedule to keep me on track What is the best career advice you have ever received or given? I try to approach things as if I was in that patient's shoes or that co-worker's shoes. How would I want to be treated? I would always want that person to go the extra mile for me, so that's what I try to do. I try to go that extra mile, even if it is just to get the insurance to cover the medication, to make that extra phone call to the insurance company. Just doing that extra little bit goes a long way. What inspires you? I feel like there is so many things that inspire me, but I would say seeing how far my son has come in life already. We didn't know if he was going to be able to walk, and yesterday I just saw him skipping down the street and I was running trying to catch up with him. He inspires me to keep going, to be better, because I know the challenges he faces every day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Kevin T. Hope, RPh is a Clinical Education Specialist with the PharmCon team in Conway, SC. He's served as an adjunct faculty member for the South Carolina College of Pharmacy. Most recently, Kevin directed the pharmacy technology program at Horry Georgetown Technical College in Myrtle Beach, SC. He's received the Pfizer Leadership Award and the Innovative Pharmacy Practice Award from the South Carolina Pharmacy Association and serves on the professional advisory board for Paradigm Publishing. Kevin's passions lie in helping students, pharmacists, and technicians surpass personal educational goals. Everyone's leadership road is a little different; tell us what you are doing now and how you got there. Right now he's working with http://freeCE.com which is a subsidiary of PharmCon. They offer continuous education credits for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and nurses. His path began with pharmacy school, retail with Eckerd, then a career in nuclear pharmacy in Charleston, SC. It sounds like you were really flexible and open to opportunities coming out of pharmacy school. How did you get that nuclear pharmacy opportunity? So many people are looking for that specialty pharmacy opportunity. What happened that this opportunity came to you? Kevin shares ideas about stepping out of the box, even though he knew very little about nuclear pharmacy at the time. Thirteen years later, he had no regrets. He says it's about stepping out of your comfort zone. What do nuclear pharmacists do on a day-to-day basis? Nuclear pharmacy is a niche within our profession that combines the skills of radiology with the skills of pharmacy. Most of the time we are looking for an agent that is being used as a radiotracer. Kevin gives a great detailed description of this niche profession. But no insurances and no drive-through? No, the customers are hospitals, cardiology clinics, endocrinology clinics and so on. You went from working as a practitioner for 13 years and then you decided to become an educator. Tell me a little about that transition. What attracted you to the pharmacy technician educator role and how was it making that transition? Kevin says that in every case he stepped out and made the decision to say “I am going to do what I want to do” and put those other variables to the side. I have never regretted it.. Now your work-day is education everyday on a different level, a national level. You are able to articulate all of the skills you have acquired over the years since starting in pharmacy in high school. Tell us about your role now with freeCE and how your path was evolved. There is the path that you think you are going to take and there is the path you actually take. Tell us about the path that you actually took. Kevin outlines what he did when adversity struck and his position was no longer available at his college. It sounds like the creativity component is really satisfying to you. How did you learn or get the training for the creativity/design component of education? Kevin talks about the trial and error process that sometimes comes with a new career, but the satisfaction of progress. Now you have autonomy and this creative component. What would you tell someone who is coming out of school to get into a position like this? I would tell students coming out of school not to fear going forward. It may mean taking a job that you might not want or have envisioned for yourself at the time. He goes on to discuss the value of intrapreneurship. Tell me about your involvement with South Carolina Pharmacist Association and how the association helps pharmacists in South Carolina? What is the best way to get in touch with you?

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Today we will be talking with Jake Ready, new graduate of Butler University class of 2017. Jake has recently accepted a position as a staff pharmacist with Walgreens, but has explored several aspects of pharmacy prior to landing on the retail route. Throughout his time at Butler, Jake has acquired experience in various nontraditional pharmacy areas. Specifically, Jake spent a rotation with Eli Lilly exploring the industrial side of pharmacy, as well as a rotation abroad in Ecuador. While in school, Jake had work experience not only as a retail intern, but also as a clinical contractor for a company based in London, England. Despite his busy schedule, Jake also managed to plan his wedding on top of all of his pharmacy commitments.  How did you decide on the career path of pharmacy? And how did that path lead to you become a bulldog at Butler? You are a new Butler graduate, can you speak a little bit about the new NAPLEX, how you studied for it, any tips or tricks for those preparing to take it in the future? Looking over your CV, it is apparent that Butler has prepared you well for your future. Butler is a small private liberal arts college. Can you tell us about your transcontinental pharmaceutical involvement? You have worked as a clinical contractor for 2 years in London, England, and you went abroad for one of your rotations to Ecuador. First of all, how did you become involved in these experiences and what did they entail? You also volunteered your time for an international medical trip back in 2015. Do you have a strong desire to travel, or how did you become involved in this and what was your draw to going abroad? You not only balanced pharmacy school, work involvement as an intern at Walgreens and an RA on campus, several different community service opportunities, but you also planned a wedding! How did you balance planning a wedding, pharmacy school, and quickly after the wedding embarking on a year of rotations? While at Butler you spent a few semesters as a laboratory assistant. Can you speak to why you were interested in teaching experiences? It really looks like you have explored many different avenues that pharmacists can practice in. Specifically, you spent a rotation involving industrial pharmacy at Eli Lilly in Indianapolis. Usually when people think of pharmacy they think either hospital or retail. What was your time like at this rotation? What is next on the docket of activities for your personal and professional future? What kind of advice would you give to current rotation students? What is your daily ritual? What is the best career advice you have received or given? What inspires you? What is the best way to contact you?

There he bridges the gap between healthcare and technology helping clients innovate and adapt the changing healthcare landscape. Everyone's leadership road is a little different, tell us about what you're doing now and how you got involved with this nontraditional role. Sales tends to have a negative connotation, especially when talking about healthcare – can you talk about your experiences in sales in a way that shifts the focus from money to helping people? How did your education at Michigan's School of Pharmacy help you to become a problem solver to finding a job in a different field with a similar skill set? What was the toughest part of your collegiate or pharmacy journey? Tell us about your passion project of The Nontraditional Pharmacist. How did this project come to be, and how each co-founder works together? Where is The Nontraditional Pharmacist today, and where do you feel it is going to go in the future?

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Today we're going to be talking with Sang-A Yun, a fourth year student pharmacist at Purdue University College of Pharmacy. She has been involved in various organizations like the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy and Phi Lambda Sigma and has also been a teaching assistant for five different classes. She is currently on her advanced practice rotations, the first two of which she completed with Novocure and Eli Lilly. She hopes to pursue a pharmaceutical industry fellowship and serve as a preceptor or teach part time at a pharmacy school after graduation. We'll start with the basics - what was your road to pharmacy school and how did you choose pharmacy as a profession? You are from Indiana and chose to stay in state and go to pharmacy school at Purdue. What made you choose to stay in state and choose Purdue over other schools in Indiana? You've been very involved during your time in pharmacy school in various organizations - can you touch on some of the most meaningful ones and how those experiences impacted you and the route you hope to take after graduation? Both of us are pretty new to the P4 game - you completed your first rotation was at Eli Lilly in Medical Affairs and you are now finishing up at Novocure with a rotation in oncology marketing. Walk me through a day in the life at each rotation or how the rotation varied from week to week. What made you choose these rotations and what have you learned that will be helpful in your pursuit of a pharmaceutical industry fellowship? I know going into my first few days at my first rotation were really scary, what advice would you have to new P4's who are just starting out on rotations that you wish you would have known when you started? You mentioned you were a teaching assistant for five different classes. How did you get involved in that? What was that like? How did that pique your interest in also pursuing an academic role at a pharmacy school in the future? You want to pursue a career both in industry and in academia. How will you tie those worlds together? I don't know much about the industry side of pharmacy, how can you teach students on the academic side more about it and get them interested? What are you most excited about as you continue your fourth and final year of pharmacy school? What are you nervous about?

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Title: Academic Rotation Guest: Emily Henningsen (email: Emily-Henningsen@uiowa.edu) P4, University of Iowa Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network, I'm your cohost Tony Guerra for the PharmacyFutureLeaders podcast broadcasting from the Des Moines Health and Public Services Building at DMACC's Ankeny Campus Connect with me on YouTube where you can find over 900 pharmacy videos supporting my audiobook Memorizing Pharmacology. Today we have our P4 student, Emily Henningsen, a PharmD Candidate from Preston, Iowa who is looking at both ambulatory care and clinical community pharmacy opportunities. She's especially excited to help patients with their continuity of care. She chose an academic rotation to impact students and learn what goes on behind the scenes as one develops courses and programs.  Everyone's leadership road is a little different; tell us what you are doing now and how you got there. You're almost a quarter done with your rotations, we've talked a little about the ticking clock for this year, how do you manage with job / rotation / life / NAPLEX studying balance? What's the hardest part of the three years before your APPE rotations? (two weeks) You come from Preston, Iowa, which is a smaller to town. We've had Brandon Gerleman on who just graduated and is in Winterset and is very pro rural town, tell me about your divide between current opportunities in the profession and underserved communities? You can't really know what kind of teacher a person is going to be before they get in front of students. I seen you excel teaching a cohort, a large classroom, and working with students one-on-one, what in your background at Iowa or otherwise do you think made you a good teacher? Many P4s are essentially homeless, how do you take advantage of the freedom that comes along with moving from one side of the state to the other because you went from Eastern Iowa to Central to Eastern Iowa back to Central Iowa then you bounce from Eastern Central Iowa to Eastern Iowa, anyway, you get the picture. What are you most looking forward to right now? What's it like to be at in the front of the classroom? What advice do you have for a student who wants to learn to teach that you wish you had known? How did it feel when students started coming directly to you for advice and help with their class?

#PharmacyFutureLeaders Today we're speaking to Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD is an Associate Professor of Medicine at New York University School of Medicine but her clinical home is at Bellevue Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the country. She is a founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Bellevue Literary Review.  Her newest book is “What Patients Say; What Doctors Hear,” an exploration of doctor-patient communication and how refocusing the conversation between doctors and patients can improve health outcomes. Everyone's leadership road is a little different, how did you become a leader in the Patient / Doctor relations space? As a bestselling author, many think that your life is perfect, what was your most difficult moment as an author that might help others understand the struggle to get to where you are? We'll talk about your other books in a little while, but tell me about this newest book, it in some ways seems like a culmination of some of what you've learned in other works. You are the author of four other books about life in medicine, can you tell me how these work together as either a journey or cohesive whole? What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine. Medicine in Translation Incidental Findings Singular Intimacies: Becoming a Doctor at Bellevue Danielle was also editor of a medical textbook—The Bellevue Guide to Outpatient Medicine—which won a Best Medical Textbook award. Danielle Ofri writes regularly for the New York Times about medicine and the doctor-patient relationship. Her essays have also appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Slate, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, CNN and on National Public Radio. How do you get a review from Lancet and other high end publications like these? How do you balance literary writing and popular writing? Very few people move into both. Her essays have been selected twice for Best American Essays and also for Best American Science Writing. She is the recipient of the McGovern Award from the American Medical Writers Association for “preeminent contributions to medical communication.” She has given TED talks on Deconstructing Perfection and Fear: A Necessary Emotion for Doctors, and has also performed stories for the Moth. She is featured in the upcoming documentary: “Why Doctors Write.”   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
