Pharmacist Business Skills: Recent Episodes
Greg L. Alston PharmD
I believe that there are numerous problems that need to be solved in our healthcare delivery system in the United States.
I believe that people will pay cash to solve these problems if the solution provides them with transformational value.
I believe that many of these problems can be solved by properly trained pharmacists.
I believe that far too many pharmacists lack the business skills to thrive in the 21st century.
I believe that far too many pharmacists do not understand that if they are not building equity in a business they are not in control of their destiny.
I believe that if 15% of all pharmacists will start new businesses that provide transformational value to clients that they can employ any pharmacist with the courage to join their business.
And I believe that when pharmacist stop relying on Corporate dragons to employ them and get involved with providing real value to their patients/clients that Pharmacy can reclaim its place as the most respected profession in the country.
On 2019 I conducted an open survey of working pharmacists to determine what their biggest worries are , and what they can do about it. If you want to know what they thought about the state of the pharmacist job market listen to this episode which explains what they said and what it possibly means to you.

This Episode 00 Is meant to explain what this podcast is all about and why it matters to the pharmacist attempting to practice in the 21st century. This lays the foundation that what I am trying to do is help pharmacists develop the business skills they need to thrive and become financially independent. The world has changed. $30,000 sign on bonuses and full time pay with great benefits are a thing of the past. You must update your skills or risk being obsolete.
