Seeking diversity in experience, expanding knowledge, and creating human connections with other passionate individuals

LinkedIn- Priya A. Patel, PharmD, MBA, Regional Director of Pharmacy at Baylor Scott & White Health.

In this episode, I got a chance to speak with Priya A. Patel, PharmD, MBA, and gained insight on pharmacy management from a health-system level. If you are a pharmacist seeking a position in a health-system, or acute care setting, this is invaluable information that can not only help you get a foot in the door but also become successful in your new position.

Some of the topics we covered:

How can pharmacists transition from retail to hospital pharmacy practice?
How can acute care pharmacists understand larger organizational goals?
Why reaching out to leaders when applying for professional positions.
Developing actionable plans to bring to leadership
What is the best pathway to becoming a leader in a hospital or health system?
Pharmacists are the most accessible health care professional – that needs to be the case IRL and on Social Media.
