Career Reconstituted: How these pharmacists turned their job into a dream job
This is the real-life story of how I quit my awesome job as a clinical pharmacist of 11-years with no real plan of what I’d do next.

Now, I’m discovering some brilliant career pivots proving that there is life after clinical pharmacy. And I want to share my journey with you.

Dr. Michelle Payan - clinical oncology pharmacist to co-founder and CEO of non-profit organization that provides holistic care to cancer patients

Dr. Omolola Adeoye-Olatunde - community pharmacy to professor and health equity researcher

Frank Harvey - community pharmacist to CEO of Surescripts
Frank Harvey started out as a community pharmacist and is now the CEO of Surescripts, which is a health information network that established electronic prescribing more than two decades ago. But don’t get me wrong, Frank is a community pharmacist at heart (the kind with a soda fountain) and a…

Dr. Sweta Chawla - pharmacy professor to leadership coach
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. Check out her "Name your...
