What Fulfills You?

Why Rejection Works Out Better Long-Term, Pursuing a Passion in Healthcare, and Overcoming Asian-American Female Stereotype with The Pharma Dental

#73: Connie Wang is the creator behind The Pharma Dental, a platform meant to help and inspire others in learning to never settle or take the easy way out and to seek a life of fulfillment, regardless if you are in the healthcare field or not. Connie initially attended pharmacy school and halfway through, she felt extremely burnt out because she realized that she was not passionate about the field and missed having a creative element to it. She has always been expressive and enjoyed art, but also knew that pursuing a career in arts alone was not the path for her and wanted to find a way to have a direct impact on patients and their health. That’s when she discovered dentistry; to create the perfect aesthetic smile, get the shades just right, work with different materials and tools to create fillings, crowns, dentures - it was  the perfect mix of both art and healthcare.


Connie finished pharmacy school, despite knowing she would not pursue a path in this field because she knew it would strengthen her understanding of the whole body and it has proved valuable in her knowledge of how to holistically treat patients.


She worked on her dental school applications during pharmacy school and graduated with her doctorate of pharmacy in May 2019 and then started her journey in dentistry at Tufts Dental School in July 2019. Since then, Connie has been utilizing her page The Pharma Dental to share with others about her story, as well as working as a part-time marketing intern for a floss start-up company.
