This is an encore presentation of a speech I gave to a class of P3 students in the “Exploring Novel Careers in Pharmacy” elective at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy during Fall Semester 2023.     This episode is also available via video on my YouTube channel.  YouTube.com/@thepharmacistsvoice or type @thepharmacistsvoice in a YouTube app. The instructor's name is Dr. Michelle Schroeder, and the class was conducted via WebEx.  I had up to 35 minutes to speak about my Novel Career in Pharmacy and 15 minutes for questions, 50 minutes total. Delivering a powerpoint presentation was recommended (but I used Canva), and I was given a list of topics to discuss from my past, present, and future + advice.  I did not speak for the full 35 minutes, and the students were happy to fill the remainder of the class time with questions. They all had good questions, and I share the two that stuck out most to me at the end of this episode.   Thank you for listening to episode 256 of The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast!
