I worked retail for 10 years before being hired at a PBM as a prior authorization RPh. Working remotely requires being self motivated (my personal preference) and overall it was much less stressful than retail.

Do you need retail experience to be hired in PBM or is long term care experience OK?

I don’t have three years yet. Just two..🫤 But I’m trying to get experience in other roles.

Any practical experience is acceptable for DUR RPh

Oof. True or not true? I don't know if I would still make the same choice if I knew how things were going to end up. I tend to be on the "PBM's ruined pharmacy" brigade. If you knew then what you know now, would you still go to pharmacy school?

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?
