Breaking into industry pharmacy isn’t just about what you know—it's about who you know and how you leverage those connections. Navigating this field is a journey that demands strategic networking and active involvement in professional organizations. Organizations like Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPHO) and Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) are more than just clubs; they’re gateways to the industry. By joining these groups, you gain access to a wealth of knowledge, mentorship opportunities, and a robust network of professionals who are already making strides in their careers. Getting involved at the national level, attending conferences, and participating in events hosted by these organizations can set you apart from your peers. It's here that you'll find the mentors, colleagues, and connections that can guide you toward a successful industry career. For PharmDs, fellowships are often seen as the ideal entry point into industry roles. They provide hands-on experience, invaluable industry exposure, and a chance to build relationships with leaders in the field. But fellowships aren't the only path—internships, entry-level roles, and specialized training programs can also pave the way to a rewarding industry career. The bottom line? Immerse yourself in the community, be proactive in building your network, and seize every opportunity to learn and grow. The industry landscape is vast, and the more connections you have, the more doors will open for you. #IndustryPharmacy #Networking #PharmaCareers #IPHO #AMCP #Fellowships #PharmD #ProfessionalGrowth #PharmaceuticalIndustry AMCP Industry Pharmacists Organization

Sharing this inspiring short film featuring Elishia Alleyne, one of AstraZeneca's first Sustainability Apprentices. She shares her vision for advancing sustainable healthcare practices, focusing on patients and broader society. What stands out for me is the impact that someone early in their career can have, not just on the business but the world around them. As she says "young people are the ones who will be living in the world we’re creating now." Never underestimate the difference an apprentice can make, nor the difference you can make by giving early careers talent a place to learn, grown and innovate. #TheBelievers #PeopleSocietyPlanet #Apprentices #EarlyCareers

I’ve observed a growing trend where Pharm.D candidates are spending on paid online courses. While continuous learning is valuable, it’s worth considering why these additional expenses may not always be necessary. 1. Your Pharm.D Program Rocks! 🎓: The curriculum is meticulously designed to cover all essential areas, from pharmacology to clinical practice, ensuring you become a well-rounded professional. 2. Hands-On Experience is Gold 🏥: The clinical rotations and internships provided by your Pharm.D program offer invaluable real-world experience that no online course can replicate. 3. Learn from the Best 👩🏫: Your professors and mentors are seasoned professionals with a wealth of knowledge and practical insights. Their guidance is often more beneficial than what you might gain from online courses. 4. Build Your Network 🌐: Your Pharm.D program offers opportunities to connect with peers, faculty, and industry professionals. These relationships can be instrumental in your career development and open doors to new opportunities. 5. Save Your Money 💰: Instead of investing in online courses, consider allocating your resources to other educational enhancements such as conferences, workshops, or valuable reference books. 6. Focus on What Matters 🎯: Trust the process of your Pharm.D program. It’s designed to equip you with the core skills needed for a successful career. Concentrate on excelling in your studies and making the most of the resources already available to you. Many successful Pharm.D alumni, including my own seniors, have never felt the need for extra paid courses. They relied on the robust training and hands-on experience provided by their Pharm.D program and thier internship. Remember, the true value of our education lies in the experiences and knowledge we gain, not the number of certificates we collect. Embrace your Pharm.D journey and trust in the comprehensive training you’re receiving. Stay focused and keep learning! 🌟 #PharmD #PharmacyEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning

Reflecting on the past two years of my master’s studies at VŠCHT Praha - UCT Prague, I’m filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment. After completing my degree in Chemistry and working at IOCB Prague - Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, I decided to pursue two degrees in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Innovation Project Management. The beginning was intense, balancing a full load of 60 credits, managing social media for the student association Tutoři, and being a member of the Intensive Part of Consulting Club 307. To gain practical experience and and balance my workload effectively, I adjusted my Project Management schedule in the spring semester. In May 2023, I started as a Marketing Trainee at GSK, which soon became Haleon. I transitioned from brand marketing to expert marketing, and during this time, I also earned several certifications: BCG WOMentoring from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Managerial Skills (Soft Skills) from Procter & Gamble, and Fundamentals of Digital Marketing from Google Digital Garage. Thanks to IAESTE, I spent the summer in University of Bayreuth in Germany, working on structural crystallography - a challenging but rewarding project. By October, I joined the leadership team of Club 307, aiming to give back to a community that had taught me so much. In June this year, I graduated with honors, and I’m hopeful to complete my second degree next year. I realize that none of this is a given, and I am deeply grateful for the support of my family and the incredible people around me in my professional circle. Special thanks to the best person I’ve met in academia, professor Petr Zámostný. Not only is he brilliant (as are many in academia), but also visionary and incredibly kind. If I ever return to academia, it will be largely due to his influence. Additionally, I am very thankful for my understanding and supportive manager, Jana Havrilová - I couldn't be such a multitasker without you. While I don’t feel experienced enough to give advice, here are three observations from my journey: 1. I wouldn't take on so much that I neglect my health and fitness again - it’s harder to recover than to maintain. 2. Choosing the right life partner has been the most important career decision I’ve made. 3. Doing the internship was a valuable experience, even though it was outside my career path. Looking forward to what’s next!

I had an insightful day at the Women of Color in Pharma (WOCIP) Micro-conference on Monday, November 6th. The event spanned from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. MST and covered a multitude of topics, from mentorship and allies to perfecting our elevator pitches. It was truly empowering to hear these people of color sharing their journeys to attain high-ranking positions in their careers. The conference featured enlightening panels with a diverse range of speakers, including experts in mental health, those who've recently entered the pharmaceutical industry, students in graduate studies, seasoned professionals, and specialists who provided insights into what internships are seeking in candidates. The breakout sessions sprinkled throughout allowed us to engage in meaningful conversations. One of the standout moments for me was when Dr. LaToya Coffey (LaToya Coffey, PhD) shared her personal journey, emphasizing the significance of even small job experiences in shaping one's career trajectory. Her story, particularly the doubts she encountered during her PhD, and her mentor's advice to persevere, resonated with me. I've faced significant uncertainty in my own path. However, Dr. Coffey's insights underscore the importance of understanding the greater value of shifting career experiences in the broader context. One of the questions posed to Dr. Coffey that particularly resonated with me was: "How were you able to differentiate between the doubt to persevere and the doubt indicating a need for a change in your career?" This question beautifully encapsulates the essence of self-reflection and decision-making that many of us encounter on our career journeys. Other notable panelists were Dr. Lisa Carlton (Lisa D. Carlton, Ph.D.) and Dr. Joseph Lunyera (Joseph L.) who shared their wisdom on self-discovery, active listening, understanding different perspectives, and career exploration. It's reassuring to know that the journey of self-discovery and career development is a constant process for many, including myself. In summary, the WOCIP Micro-conference was an enriching experience, providing valuable insights and perspectives on career growth, diversity, and self-discovery. The lessons and conversations will undoubtedly continue to influence my career path. Thank you Michelle Adams for this amazing opportunity.
