Depends if you want to stay on the clinical side or not?

I would take any role in a managed care organization and then work to move around once you’ve gained experience.

I’m in search of some guidance for this question as well. I’m a clinical pharmacist who has covered internal med, critical care, and now a clinical pharmacy specialist in oncology. I feel like my background would be a benefit, but I have trouble finding a position that isn’t MSL . I know I want to be in a position where I impact organizational decisions based on treatment guidelines and changes in treatment parameters and something remote that project driven. What roles may fit these attributes? What roles in managed care could be a fit? Thanks

I’m about to start a new job and I’m NERVOUS. I love my current GM, location and staff. But the owner is a nightmare. Nothing I do is right for her. She has a complaint about everything I do. She speaks to me like I’m stupid in front of many people. But I’m still nervous. I strongly believe that sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know. What if I’m going into a worse situation? Do I stay in this bad one or risk a possible worse one? I guess I wont know unless I try.

I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??
