@klc979 They also drive TERRIBLY. Going to the airport I couldn’t watch the road and just prayed to make it in one piece. 😅

@ChristinaC0x is the reason I became a pediatric pharmacist. She inspired me and was a great mentor to me in pharmacy school. So well deserved- congratulations! ❤️

After having to cancel my original post-residency trip to Italy in 2020, I finally got to go on my dream trip. The food, the sights, the memories- priceless. Until next time, Ciao Italia! #thisiswhatdreamsaremadeof

@pharmpearls Didn’t get the email either- just happened to log in to the website a couple weeks ago to make sure my BPS credit showed up after being at a pharmacy meeting and I had a notification that it was due 🤦🏼‍♀️

Such a sweet time with my peds pharm family these past few days in Dallas at #PediatRxCon #PPA23 💊👶🏼

[April Thompkins, PharmD, BCPPS @AprilWThompkins]

It was definitely nostalgic to be back @UofSCPharm today for the first time since graduation for the Carolinas Pediatric Pharmacy meeting 💊👶🏼🐔

[JACCP @JACCPJournal]

The number of PGY1 applicants still outnumber the open positions. Can we define equivalencies that would help pharmacists transition to a clinical position? @BBookstaver_USC discusses these questions and more. https://t.co/mSTi9ixH0j @accpedtrprn

[April Thompkins, PharmD, BCPPS @AprilWThompkins]

Residency is an integral part of the path to securing a clinical pharmacist position- BUT it can be difficult to attain for many reasons and isn’t for everyone. Residency equivalency is a potential avenue that would make these pharmacist positions more accessible. #RxResidency

[JACCP @JACCPJournal]

Mid-career shifts, including those into clinical pharmacy positions, are common. The @ACCP Publications committee outlines residency equivalency for both applicants and prospective employers. https://t.co/EvC9OaW7C6 @brihemstreet @bbookstaver_USC @Kwchamb @CSchumacher42
