Not long ago did we make an episode talking about how competitive the labour market is for pharmacists. Nowadays the wages and vacancies point towards another golden age as pharmacists are leaving the profession in droves. What is going on? #Pharmacy #OntPoli #Pharmacists

ICYMI! We interviewed Neven Kulas from Whole Health Pharmacy Partners to answer the following questions: When should you even consult a banner when opening a pharmacy? And should you take upfront cash to open a pharmacy? The answers might surprise you... 👀

We have likely entered a wave driven by the Omicron BA.5 subvariant. Key Messages: - The rise in hospitalizations will likely be smaller than earlier waves, but our hospitals are already very strained. (1/17)

Our current financial model has remained largely the same, but our profession has greatly changed. Rebates, Ordinary Commercial Terms, Kickbacks - Whatever the name, they all mean the same 💲🤑 Why are the finances within pharmacy kept so secret?

1/ Some semi-related thoughts on the current COVID wave (not wavelet): -Still uncertainty as to how large it may get. Hospitalizations *may* rival that of wave 5. Updated models coming soon. -As per before, this will disproportionately impact at-risk individuals/communities.

How do you make a lasting impact on an interview? Or better yet, how do you secure that interview in the first place? We have tiptoed around the subject before, but today Faizan and Chris talk about their strategies to 'sell themselves' and land their dream jobs. #podcast
