PharmD’s continue seeking to demonstrate their worth.
You do not need to seek more acronyms along with your degree.
Many doctor of pharmacy programs advocate for more education post graduation. This perpetuates the need to be “more” especially for those who did not complete post-graduation trainings.?
You may feel the need chase these to demonstrate you’re worthy:?
?PGY1 Residency trained
?PGY2 residency trained
?Board specialized in X
?Special certificates
?More degrees
The truth is having a doctor of pharmacy degree is plenty if you can leverage it and own your worth. It is one of the top five hardest degrees to earn. With the degree comes enough knowledge worthy of it all.?
You are worthy
Say this with me…
? You are enough, already

? You are enough, already
Having a Doctor of Pharmacy degree is enough, already.
Choose to own it and leverage it.?
It's time to command the respect you deserve.?
Recognize and demonstrate the value you bring.
If you’re not fulfilled where you’re at, know you’re not alone.?
Either own it and continue to network and work your way towards your ideal role or consider starting your own business. Starting your own thing allows you to make something that aligns with your core inner being to provide that fulfillment using the knowledge and expertise you now own.?
Earn the freedom and respect serving others while also bringing in extra income to offset the financial burden you may carry.??
Challenge the status quo
Challenge the status quo and embark on new journeys that align with your ideal role as a pharmacist.?
Refuse to fall in line with their narrative that you need more and are not worthy. Brush up on your passion if it's regulatory, specialty, holistic, health systems, etc. and put yourself out there as that expert.?
Showing up is the hardest part, but it sure beats adding on more debt or more time trying to prove your worth with more degrees while continuing to perpetuate the “false” need for more and more education to be worthy as a doctor of pharmacy.
Do this reflection on the daily:
Watch what happens when you do!

7 个月I was told numerous times by doctors “I wasn’t smart enough to go to pharmacy school, so I went to medical school.” We would be surprised if we did forget about our self centered imposter syndrome how many other professions in healthcare speak about the same thing. Primary care physicians are imposter against specialists since they are generalists, etc. etc. Enough already, we forget sometimes how patients are the center of the care not us… Let’s stop talking about our feelings and help patients, we are smart and educated We have to stop focusing only on our beautiful self and provide patient care Curtains:)))
