Career Reconstituted: How these pharmacists turned their job into a dream job

Louis paved his own path as a public health pharmacist, and it wasn't easy. He did Peace Corps in West Africa (and got to deliver babies!) then South Africa (setting up an electronic medical record). Back stateside, we learn how all his big breaks stemmed from Career Fairs, including his current gig as an FDA branch chief. Its a fascinating story, please join us.

Mike wasn't one to say no to opportunities, so he did it all - community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, operational management, and clinical...and then oncology. Now he's a scientific director at a mid-sized biotech company and trying to create change by adding diversity to clinical trials. There are several lessons to learn from Mike's path to his dream job.

Dr. Robert Witcher doesn't consider it a pivot, but rather an evolution: from critical care to pediatrics, and now health informatics. He takes us behind the scenes to understand what he does exactly, what excites him about his field, and what he doesn't miss about being a clinical pharmacist.

Please join my conversation with Dr. Sweta Chawla, who didn't just pivot, but turned her career on its head (kind of like a yoga pose) to channel her inner voice. She's now a leadership coach and mentor; writer; and public speaker. So many inspirational nuggets here.

Get ready for the ultimate career pivot which will leave you spinning (and inspired). Dr. Rikin Mehta has done it all, from community and clinical pharmacy to protecting the public at the FDA and DOH, running for office (quite successfully), and starting two companies. It's a great conversation - would love for you to join!

As I embark on the search for my dream job, I want to take you with me. Stay tuned for weekly episodes, featuring pharmacists-turned life coach, politician, Epic analyst, entrepreneur, champion of drug safety, massage therapist, and more!
