We are a group of practicing pharmacists throughout the U.S. who have organized a mutual aid movement entitled #PharmGradWishlist (Twitter: @PharmGradWish) that aims to support emerging pharmacist trainees who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color). People who identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and American Indian/Alaska Native are underrepresented in the Pharmacy profession, which can perpetuate health disparities.  WEBSITE: https://www.pharmgradwishlist.org/  This pharmacist campaign was inspired by the successful movement of our physician colleagues (@MedGradWishlist).

Graduating from either pharmacy or law school is an admirable achievement. Graduating from both is a rare accomplishment indeed! That’s just what 1985 ACPHS grad Scott Terrillion did, despite having more than a few people advising him against it. In this episode of Occupation Station, Scott talks about why he made such an unusual move. He says his education at ACPHS prepared him to take on the new challenge of law school by teaching him about the scientific method, understanding logic and problem solving. Drawing on his experience at places like Boehringer Ingelheim and Cara Therapeutics, where he is now General Counsel, Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer, Scott shares advice about finding the right fit with an employer to maximize both your talents and your desire to grow.
