Devlin Smith is a 2016 graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy and finishing a PGY-1/PGY-2/MS Health System Pharmacy Administration as a resident at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Her background includes experience in event/tradeshow management (pre-pharmacy), leadership development (through PDC, LDS, and UTCOP), and pharmacy education. And, as a fellow runner, she thinks its normal to say "I ran 12 miles, then 13 miles the next day."

After hearing a #podcast episode on market saturation on RxRadio two days ago a P1 (just finished P1 year) reached out asking "should I quit pharmacy school?" The podcast reported that Kroger wasn't hiring ANY pharmacists, so I looked into the numbers for the big 5 from their own websites: CVS 880 openings/Walgreens 54/Walmart 169/Rite Aid 83/Kroger 32 so 1223 openings of the 60,588 jobs, so 98% filled. Many of these jobs are intern/hourly/float but some are salaried. What would you say?
