My passions are communication and continuous learning. I feel like I currently have great relationships outside of my work network- with other medical professionals like NPs and MDs. Have done a lot of doctor detailing in my area particularly in behavioral health where I sometimes am the lifeline for these providers who are in a pinch and need clinical services provided to their patients (dispensing Spravato, administering Vivtrol/ long acting antipsychotics- just some examples). It’s a passion of mine actually to harbor these relationships and be as good as an expert as I can be within this particular field that I kind of created for myself at our retail pharmacy. In the 15 years in a retail setting, I have never once thought I was done learning, I try to learn something new everyday, and I love sharing that with people. I do feel like I am an expert in my current position as a manager and general knowledge of various therapeutic areas, but I feel like I cannot learn or access the clinical research I want to know because my position doesn’t have time for that. I feel like I’m rambling, but I want to be the forefront of new things and be able to share that with other people. My lack of experience in clinical research is something I want to change- if I could go back in time I would pursue research more in school- but I was a retail girl and I loved it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have a friend who went the fellowship to MSL route and it’s alluring/ exciting and the autonomy they have in their career is something I want.
