Is the hype around non traditional pharmacy roles helping or hurting new grads? In my opinion The knowledge that you gain from working traditional roles is what will help you succeed in the non traditional role Some pharmacists are promoting new grads/current pharmacists to leave community pharmacy Why? Community pharmacy is the reason why pharmacists are recognized as “The most accessible healthcare professionals” Leaving community pharmacy is not the solution ☑️Understanding how to advance community pharmacy is the solution Pushing non-traditional roles will not advance pharmacy ☑️Understanding how to advance traditional roles will Don't get me wrong I LOVE all the amazing opportunities that are being created But we cannot forget about what made pharmacists “The most accessible healthcare professionals” It's important for the new grads to understand the importance of the traditional roles And not get distracted by all the negative posts about traditional roles I have always wanted to make a positive impact And help contribute to the advancement of pharmacy My best ideas came When I started working at a community pharmacy This is a marathon not a sprint. Let's stay focused and take it one step at a time 1. Work the traditional roles 2. Find the issues 3. Come up with solutions 4. Implement them You cannot come up with the solutions from far away The traditional pharmacist role experience is PRICELESS And the people that experience these roles will be the ones that make the big impact PS.

Graduation rates are on track to hit 2006 levels soon, igniting memories of the golden era of Pharmacy. Back then multiple job offers and lucrative sign-on bonuses were the norm. 18 years ago we had leverage due to a Pharmacist shortage, but we squandered an opportunity use that leverage to force structural change within the profession. The current struggles faced by retail pharmacies in filling positions have revived the need for sign-on bonuses. While I applaud the wage increases and bonuses, there is need for more meaningful change. Pharmacists across all sectors often highlight less-than-ideal working conditions. If this renewed leverage becomes a reality, it should be channeled towards making tangible structural changes for better day-to-day working conditions allowing us to practice at the top of our license. Embracing this opportunity for change will yield positive outcomes for patients, the pharmacy profession, and individual pjarmacists. Let's seize this chance to drive meaningful improvements within our industry.
