Pharmacist here with 9 YOE working as a clinical oncology pharmacist at a large NYC hospital. I’m a PharmD, BCPS. I’d love some guidance on where to apply, what types of posts to look for, and is it possible for someone with my qualifications to break into LS? Thanks in advance

Yes, you can break into it. Hell, you can break into equity research roles or life sci PE (maybe I’m reaching lol).

But first things first: Whattya tryna get into, big dawg?

Would you be willing to DM with me about the same topic?

We can chat if you’re interested in BCG, we have all kinds of advances degree consultants doing HC work (and non-HC work). If you’re a good fit I’d be happy to provide a referral.

I have a MHA, MBA, and BSHA. I’m wanting to get into a supervisor or manger role but I don’t have the experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I dive in and start getting the experience I need? I live in Washington and work in Oregon. Also, anything using my MBA would be favored as well, this degree is not healthcare specific. Thank you!

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
