Description

The road to becoming a pharmacist has been a rewarding experience. The challenges that I have encountered along the way have made me a better person and a better healthcare professional. I am about to finish my last clinical rotation and will graduate with both my Doctorate of Pharmacy and Masters of Business Administration in May 2015. It seems like yesterday that I was in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, pursuing a degree in biology. This presentation will highlight some insights and stories I had on the path to becoming a pharmacist and dual enrolling in the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship for my MBA. I will also discuss key lessons I learned along the way to reaching my career goals some of which will include:

• Don’t let your grades or your peers grades prevent you from applying to grad schools

• Show interest in your desired field

• Scheduling will save your life

• Librarians are your best friend
