Today, in this bonus episode, Norman interviewed a UCLA pre-medical student named Brent Shaw. We covered networking tips, how to identify your passions, and mindset to achieve your dreams. Brent's (@therealstudentmentor) whole life story has been based on networking and reaching out for opportunities that he didn't think he was qualified for. This includes becoming the Director of Research of a stem cell therapy clinic at 21 years old and becoming a widely published stem cell researcher. Brent has used this same networking formula that he is going to teach you in this course to work with celebrities, best-selling authors, and world leaders in medicine, business, and education. During this pandemic Brent has made it his mission to empower as many students as possible to find the opportunities of their dreams during COVID-19!

Hey, PILL-O TALK listeners! This is a reflection on Norman's pharmacy school personal statement as a 20-year-old pre-pharmacy student vs. now as a 24-year-old 3rd-year pharmacy student about to go on rotations. Norman also gave some tips on writing a personal statement. Let us know what ya'll think!

Devon's been busy with residency applications but him and Norman are working on some big interviews.

Hey everyone! This is an end-of-the-year video I recorded for my Health Leadership elective in pharmacy school. It was raw and genuine and I learned so much about my own leadership style and reviewed my own shortcomings. Hope you enjoy!

Feeling overwhelmed is ok, but you have to know when to step away.

In this episode, Devon talks about his experience being infected with COVID-19 (spoiler: he bit into a raw onion) and we go into how we struggled to cope with the enormous amount of stress and anxiety during finals week of pharmacy school. From feeling as robotic as a Haldol-induced comatose patient to not feeling focused enough, we explain how we've learned from our mistakes and experience and share some of our own coping mechanisms.

Even in professional school, sometimes a career path isn't so clear cut. Join Devon and Norman as they discuss who they are, why they chose pharmacy, and how they found a way to combine their passions for entrepreneurship, videography, music, branding, and more in their pharmacy careers.
