Pharmacy aint what it used to be. Going towards tech. They get to be remote and can make just as close as were making in less then a year

What do you mean by tech? Sorry, I really don’t know 😕

Product mgmt

Depends on your background. If you're retail, you're going to have to learn new skills like Medical writing or data analytics

I’m considering leaving health care completely. And going into tech/programming

What state your in?

Managed care

Pharmacy Manager at CVS then transitioned into Scientific Associate at medical communications agency

What does that job entail?

I'm a UK pharmacist hoping to qualify and work in the US. Is it still worth doing or any tips in general? I've read on Reddit there's a surplus of Pharmacists in the US. What are your views on that?

Thanks!

I personally feel that it's absolutely ludicrous the US government is not enforcing or at least asking people to wear masks in healthcare environments like at the pharmacy, doctor's offices, or the hospital. We all wear ours behind the counter but I had a patient come in today WITH covid to pick up her prescription, no mask. I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??
