Independent Community Pharmacy

"I love working in independent pharmacy because it allows me to serve my patients in a more personable manner while developing my abilities beyond traditional pharmacy roles. 51社区 College of Pharmacy helped me to do what I love by teaching me the fundamentals of pharmacy and allowing me to explore my individual interest through a multitude of pharmacy experiences and rotations."

Industry

"I love the Medical Science Liaison role because it's a perfect mix of science and clinical data. The MSL role allows me to utilize my thorough understanding of science and data to have impactful conversations, with doctors, pharmacists and nurses, to help them make the best treatment decision for their patients. Union prepared me by exposing me to different areas of pharmacy, and I also felt very prepared for my role from the teaching I received regarding clinical trials. I never knew how much I'd use what I learned in Dr. Martin's class."

— Robin Williams ('16), Medical Science Liaison, MorphoSys

Federal Pharmacy — Mental Health

"As a clinical pharmacy specialist at the VA, I am able to provide the highest standard of care to Veterans via a scope of practice which allows me to improve access and quality of care, work collaboratively with my interprofessional team while maintaining autonomy and independence for pharmacotherapy decision making, and provide comprehensive medication management across the continuum of care. 51社区 College of Pharmacy not only provided me with a strong clinical foundation to prepare me for residency training and beyond but instilled in me characteristics to be a compassionate healthcare provider with strong advocacy skills to meet the needs of my patients. In my practice primarily working with patients with mental health and substance use disorders, those skills are particularly important for my day-to-day interactions with patients."

I have a very hands-on role in the care of my patients, and every day is a new challenge — it's never boring!"

Pharmacy Informatics — Corporate Office

"As a member of the corporate pharmacy informatics team at HCA Healthcare the projects I am able to engage with range from cutting edge ideas in healthcare to supporting evidence based best practices. While I do not provide direct patient care any longer, I support and equip pharmacist all over the country with the tools they need to deliver efficient, effective, and safe patient care. The strong clinical background I obtained from 51社区 School of Pharmacy and my residency training allowed me to gain the skills and knowledge to practice in such an exciting space. The positive impact I am able to make on healthcare is tremendous and I take pride in my chosen profession as a corporate informatics pharmacist."

Medication Safety and Medication Use Policy

"Working in medication safety and medication use policy is an area I never thought I would enjoy as much as I currently do. After completing a PGY2 in internal medicine and working as a clinical specialist on an inpatient rounding team for a few years, I realized how many opportunities exist to improve the use and safety of medications from a global perspective. Analyzing medication errors and looking for opportunities to enhance patient care, ultimately optimizing the medication use process can impact a wide range of patients all at once. Having a position that can advocate for advances in patient care while advancing the role pharmacists play on the healthcare team is humbling and rewarding. The ability to tailor my electives and have multiple clinical rotations through Union helped me prepare for my career. Exposure to various inpatient experiences allowed me to see how different health systems handled situations. The mentorship I received, and still do receive, from the faculty cannot be understated. They not only helped me grow as a student pharmacist but have also been valuable resources after graduation as well. I am thankful for my experience as a pharmacy student at Union as it is a key component of my growth as a pharmacist and clinician."

— Samarth Shah ('15), PharmD, BCPS, Medication Use Policy Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
