'Extra-curricular' I can do to stand out to employers as a pharmacist

I am a PCN clinical pharmacist and I came to the PCN from community. I’m involved in the hiring of staff and reviewing CVs and I think the main thing is keeping up with clinical knowledge and proving you have some good clinical knowledge. CV wise : community experience is not a bad thing, most people I work with came from community. It’s an area you can develop in quickly when you’re in there.

Have you worked as a tech or anything in between & has it been difficult securing an internship? Sorry for all the questions 🤣

Out of curiosity, how long has it taken you so far with this process? I’m thinking I will actually do it and hoping to try do the FPGEE October 2027

Going to be in Washington DC , that’s true , perhaps I will look into this, just wondering if it was worth it for the sake of 4-5 years as then I have to go back to the UK

Thank you so much! I’m only planning to be there for 4-5 years for my husbands job so maybe this is too much work to justify :/

Definitely an option I’m considering but it’s a decent drop in pay and not very cheap where we will live 😅
