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
