Why I Love Being a Pharmacist

Written By Sierra Richard, PharmD, BCPPS

Let’s be honest for a second, pharmacy gets a bad wrap. The public thinks pharmacists count pills all day (we don’t). Some people don’t view pharmacists as healthcare professionals at all (we are). Our own professionals are leaving the profession due to some of the changes that have occurred since the pandemic began (this is true, I won’t deny it). However, I wanted to highlight the things I DO like about being a pharmacist.

This episode isn’t about the pros and cons of the profession or comparing jobs, but the things I have enjoyed throughout my career. I’ve had the opportunity to work in community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, and research pharmacy. Each of these areas within pharmacy have offered a new challenge and different things I liked about the job.

If you are curious what pharmacy has to offer then this is the episode for you.

I’m an investigational drug service clinical pharmacist specialist, a board certified pediatric pharmacy specialist, and a pharmacy preceptor, but I’m also a content creator, a wife, a cat and bird momma, and multi-passionate human being! (seriously, ask me about the geysers of Yellowstone or how NASA is sending humans back to the moon!)

I discovered that pharmacy could give me a lot in life, but it couldn’t give me a happy life on its own so I created a life I love and I am helping you do the same.
