Catalyst (pharmD): The Next-Generation Pharmacy Student: Fearlessly leading the future of pharmacy

Do you remember why you decided to go to pharmacy school?

Was it because you excelled in math and science and were interested in health care, but thought you might not be smart enough for med school or nice enough to be a nurse? Or maybe because you thought having a Doctor of Pharmacy degree would enable you to have a career helping others and become a €˜one percenter€?

Did you think that going to pharmacy school meant you already made your career decision, but have realized you actually have no idea what you want to do when you grow up?

Have you heard about the saturated job market and that new graduates are not able to get jobs?

Me too.

It was during the first week of pharmacy school when my mindset changed and my confidence plummeted. I felt like I was back to square one, except this time I had to prove myself with a curriculum vitae instead of a resume AND there was an entire class of students who were just as smart and had just as much life experience as I did.

If you feel like there is nothing really special that makes you standout, that you€re not 100% sure you€re heading in the right direction, or that if you don€t do a residency, you won€t be respected or get a good job - this book is for you.

If you want to stop feeling incompetent, frustrated, self conscious, nervous, on-edge, unprepared, ignored, anxious, guilty for having a social life, or fear failing €“ this book is for you.

Catalyst (pharmD): The Next-Generation Pharmacy Student is for students that feel like tests, projects, and rotations are simply a means to an end. It is for the students that feel like these are only requirements you need to complete in order to graduate and start your real life. It is for the students that are sick of trying to prove their worth with a CV. And it is for the students that constantly try to figure out what type of pharmacists they want to be, but can€t seem to find something that will stick.

This book was written to help you see yourself, your life, and your PharmD from a different perspective so that you can use pharmacy school to create a life you are excited to live.

It is written for you, a student, so that you no longer wish there was a money-back guarantee for your education. You have a unique gift and will one day have a PharmD - WHY NOT USE BOTH?!

Right now I am a student too €“ the lessons I learned are still fresh, my failures are still raw, and my bank account is still in the negatives.

The reason I am sharing this now is because I still understand what it is like to be you. Because as a student, I was able to figure out why I went to pharmacy school and how I could translate what I believe into a career. Because I believe the time you have while you are in school is extremely VALUABLE and I don€t want you to waste another day making the same mistakes I did.

If your only goal during pharmacy school is to match or get a job, please ask yourself, €œWhat will life look like once I get it?€

Don€t be the student who does what everyone else is doing. Be the kind of student who is passionate. Be the student that drives the profession of pharmacy forward. Be a leader, an innovator, and a catalyst for the future of pharmacy.

Don€t be the student that settles for a position because your CV proves you are qualified. Be the kind of student who takes action by creating the career and life you WANT.

The profession of pharmacy is at a crossroads and what YOU do is going to determine what direction it takes. It's time to stop thinking residency and retail are the only options.

YOU have a purpose, a perspective, and a passion unlike anyone else. You have the opportunity to discover what they are and how to translate them into a career. All you have to do is keep reading!
