In writing an original post, then creating a 5-part mini series about the 5 Roads out of Retail Pharmacy over at Pharmacy Podcast, I’m worried that I may appear to be discounting or even trashing retail pharmacy.

I’m not.

Really!

I learned a LOT of valuable lessons about managing people and caring for patients through my various retail pharmacy practice experiences. I also learned a lot of soft skills through those experiences as well – like patience, fortitude, endurance, creativity and problem-solving – that I never would have learned inside a classroom.

5 Roads Into Loving your Retail Pharmacy Career:

1. Own it – why not own your own store? It’s becoming a reality for many pharmacists these days. Shout out to one of the wholesalers in particular who helps pharmacy owners take their businesses and their professions to the next level. Many pharmacists long to be their own bosses. In fact, back in the day, EVERY pharmacist was a business owner, because there were no pharmacy chains. So, if you’re going to be in it to win it, why not own it? I’ve never owned a pharmacy, but I acted like an owner when I was the pharmacist in charge of my first pharmacy – so “ownership” doesn’t need to be literal–it can be a mindset here too!

2. Get out of the fishbowl – Just like Hazel Walker described this week on the Pharmacy Podcast, you need to build a network inside the profession of pharmacy and OUTSIDE. That INCLUDES networking in your local community, with the patients you serve. My first couple of pharmacy experiences had me surrounded by glass around the pharmacy – so we used to joke that sometimes, we needed to “get out of the fishbowl.” Examples of this: could you get out into the community and discover nursing homes that need adherence packaging for their patients that you could help with? Is there an acute facility in a rural setting that could use your pharmacy’s help? Do you have a hospice program in your community you could partner with? If you’re the new kid on the block, why not get out and say hi to the doctors in your local community? Get out of the fishbowl and investigate!

3. Niche it – I have a friend in retail (large chain) who created a really interesting niche for herself in community practice pharmacy, which led her to meeting the US Surgeon General! There are pharmacies (yes, even in chains) that specialize different areas of pharmacy practice. So, even if you work in a huge chain, ask yourself the following: what are my passions within this profession? Also, ask your CUSTOMERS what their needs are as well. Do you have an older population, a younger/new family population, or something else? Find and fill their needs, and in doing so, you may just have created yourself an amazing career corner in practice! Even better – once you become the “go to” guy or gal, can you help train others about it in your company? Who does compounding in your neck of the woods? If everyone is a hot potato with it, why not own it and run with it? What about wellness? What about preventative care?

4. Step up – Volunteer. Do extra work. Show upper management that you want to train/teach/beta test/write/speak/ manage/help/recruit others and grow within your company or chain. Be the liaison between your pharmacy school alma mater and your chain. Take students on rotation and precept. The more you do and do well, the more you’ll get noticed, which is critical if you want to move up in the company you’re working within.

5. Play nice with others – This is a combo of all the 4 previous steps, but ask yourself how you and your pharmacy business can play nicely with others. Is there a visiting nurse service you could partner with in the community? Is there a way you could organize a community task force for disaster relief if, God forbid, something happens to your community? What about a tox away day? Can you set up a phone tree with other pharmacists to prevent theft and diversion in pharmacy? What can you do with strong non profits in your area that would help the community? Can you bring the community IN to your pharmacy to hang out and be a spot of joy and hope for your neighborhood, instead of another icky task they have to check off of their list? Ask yourself one more time what your strengths are, and how you can add them to your world around you to create a better retail pharmacy world. Maybe that’s through a broader, interprofessional pathway that could lead you to feeling FANTASTIC about your career of pharmacy.

After all, you picked a great profession! The sky is the limit….!

Let's see what you all think about this post.  If it gains enough traction, I'll do another Pharmacy Podcast miniseries on it, because I know people who fit all 5 of these suggestions above.  Leave your thoughts below and we'll see if we need to create another mini series on this...until then, keep on rocking retail!

Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network, I’m your cohost Tony Guerra for the #PharmacyFutureLeaders podcast broadcasting from Ankeny, Iowa.

We’re going to talk with innovative new pharmacy practitioners and soon to be pharmacy graduates.

I’ve gotten a lot of emails from prepharmacy and new graduate students about decisions they are making right now, feel free to connect with me on Twitter at Tony underscore Pharm D or subscribe to my YouTube channel at TonyPharmD where you can find over 700 videos on drug pronunciation, memorization, and the Top 200 that support my audiobook Memorizing Pharmacology.

If you’re a P-3 going to ASHP Midyear 2016, make sure to link your leadership accomplishments on Twitter to hashtag Pharmacy Future Leaders we’ll be providing a stipend for one student registration. We’ll announce that person on October 28th, 2016

Anna comes to Kelley-Ross Pharmacy Group from NuCara Pharmacy in Pleasant Hill, Iowa where she served as an entrepreneurial pharmacy intern as part of Drake College of Pharmacy and Health Science Delta RX. Additionally, she served as a curricular development assistant for the pharmacy technician program at Des Moines Area Community College.

Anna grew up in Menasha, Wisconsin and graduated in May, 2016 with her Doctor of Pharmacy degree along with her Master’s in Business Administration from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. As a student, Anna served as president of Drake’s National Community Pharmacists Association Student Chapter and was an active member of Phi Delta Chi Professional Pharmacy Fraternity.

Everyone’s leadership road is different, let’s start with where you are today, and how you got into your current position?

Discuss how you first felt you became a leader at Drake University and how the opportunities you had there helped you. I think we first talked about NCPA and Phi Delta Chi and a summer internship.

The more I talk to students, the more I’m finding the activities they do outside of their regular classroom are the ones that are leading them towards the most satisfying opportunities. You seem to be a magnet for awards and opportunities, can you talk about winning that award for your P4 year and the other opportunities you had?

What activities are you doing at Kelly Ross Pharmacy Group? You mentioned some exciting work with keeping patients with cardiovascular conditions out of the hospital.

Washington State is gearing up for January provider status, can you tell us what Kelly Ross is doing to move forward with that opportunity?

My wife completed her community pharmacy residency at an excellent program at the University of Iowa and landed a very clinically focused job working at the VA hospital. I think many of our listeners are familiar with the residency match, but some very good residencies are outside the match including some community residencies, can you explain how you chose which residencies to apply to in and outside of the match?

What blanket advice do you have for the many residency hopefuls as they descend on New Orleans on October 15 to 19, 2016 for NCPA and Las Vegas this December 4th through 8th for ASHP?

Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network, I’m your cohost Tony Guerra for the PharmacyFutureLeaders podcast broadcasting from Ankeny, Iowa.

You can connect with me on Twitter at Tony underscore Pharm D or subscribe to my YouTube channel at TonyPharmD where you can find over 700 videos on drug pronunciation, memorization, and the Top 200 that support my audiobook Memorizing Pharmacology.

If you’re a P-3 going to ASHP Midyear 2016, make sure to link your leadership accomplishments on Twitter to hashtag Pharmacy Future Leaders we’ll be providing a stipend for one student registration. We’ll announce that person on October 28th, 2016

Today we’re going to talk about nutrition and life just after pharmacy school with Tyler Dalton, PharmD, a 4th generation pharmacist and very recent graduate of the Harrison School of Pharmacy at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Auburn University in Biomedical Sciences in 2012 and PharmD from Auburn in 2016.

Professionally, he works as an outpatient clinical community pharmacist in Birmingham Alabama. He provides a bridge between traditional medicine and a next generation approach to health and wellness by promoting nutrition through social media. He also serves as a managed care, a motivational interviewing, and wellness training consultant.

We’ll find out how his experiences, especially those leadership opportunities outside the classroom, have allowed him to experience and share his passion for nutrition through social media and given him a very positive outlook on his pharmacy future.

Tyler, I want to get right to something that we talked about earlier this week and that’s your passion for sharing nutritional advice. Tell us a little bit about what you do and how you spread the information.

You said that you give this advice out on Snapchat, how does that work?

What feedback do you get from your viewers?

You mentioned you’d like to set up Facebook live as well?

How can people get to see you? How do they know when your show is on?

I know lulu.com allows you to create your own book and publish to Amazon, maybe you’ll put together enough recipes to start a career as an author slash nutritionist.

You recently graduated, what made you decide to become a clinical community pharmacist instead of a residency or a post-PharmD MBA?

You mentioned some other work you do as a clinical consultant with pharmacoeconomics on your off hours, how does that work?

How does that experience help you see a more global patient care effort than in maybe a single location?

You also mentioned motivational interview training, could you talk about what that is and how a pharmacist would get into that?

Are you eventually looking to own your own pharmacy?

Tell me about the family ties you have to Auburn University and the Auburn experience.

I know the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) is having their national meeting on Oct. 15-19, 2016 in New Orleans this year, tell me about your leadership role within the student chapter especially those last two years.

The Iowa Pharmacy Association is very active in keeping us up to date and connected to other pharmacy associations. You were active with the Alabama Pharmacy Association as a student, what were your roles there and how did you get into those positions?

Could you present continuing education on nutrition with the state association and stream it live? I feel like this would be a CE that would reach outside the state.

These next months students are looking to do APPEs and choose APPEs tell us a little bit about your “method” of choosing those experiences.

You had an interesting approach to choosing clubs and leadership activities in undergrad and especially pharmacy school, tell us about that.

What’s the best piece of advice you would give to a person looking to get into the pharmacy profession today?

Again, If you’re a P-3 going to ASHP Midyear 2016, make sure to link your leadership accomplishments on Twitter to hashtag Pharmacy Future Leaders we’ll be providing a stipend for one student registration. We’ll announce that person on October 28th, 2016

What is a Whistleblower?

A whistleblower is effectively an individual who has witnessed or been part of an unethical or illegal process, often against their will as a condition of employment, and decides to submit the incriminating evidence to the proper authorities. Whistleblowers begin the indictment process in cases that are criminal. Whistleblowers are not just restricted to the private sector, but the dynamics of retaliation from cases arising from the public sector can be different. Congress understands the precarious situations that whistleblowers are in and have established legislation for retributive protection.  

Cases in the private sector are covered by The Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act and are enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor. A subset of the Zarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the law allows whistleblowers to enjoin the government in any civil claim that the Attorney General will advance to prosecution.

The legislation essentially protects employees of publicly-traded companies from the employer and criminalizes retaliation.  In addition to employee protections, the law requires employers to establish a company policy and reasonable protocol to allow whistleblowers an opportunity to present situations occurring within the company that may have been overlooked in normal operations. Conditions of the legislation also require attorneys to become whistleblowers in the event of illegal activity.  

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act provides additional protection for cases involving discrimination and retaliation, effectively giving a discriminated individual more legal leverage. The legal protections of remedies in this legislation allow for protections in legal standing for the witness of a discriminating act as well as the victim if the employer retaliates against the informant.

Dr. Kulkarni is the Principal Attorney at the Kulkarni Law Firm. He provides regulatory and legal advice to pharmacies and other FDA regulated entities and their service providers.  He speaks and regularly advises on currently legal and compliance related matters including the physician payment sunshine act, clinicaltrials.gov, the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Law and other developments of laws and regulations that affect the life sciences industry and compounding facilities.  He has worked as a pharmacist for more than 14 years in multiple capacities, including hospitals, retail pharmacies, managed care, and has even participated as a clinician in clinical trials.

Josh Lurie, Partner & Member of Board of Directors of Symplur joins the podcast to help our pharmacy industry discover the untapped power of Symplur Signals.

Quoting an article from June 15, 2016 “Tech Republic” columnist Jason Hiner writes, “From the 1980s until the past several years, when people heard about breaking news via word-of-mouth they typically turned to network news such as Fox or CNN. Today, they turn to Twitter. A recent Pew Research study found that 62% of US adults now get news from social media, up from 49% in 2012.”

I am one of these people who will access my Twitter account before any direct news source because it’s faster, more sincere, and provides a diverse perspective on the same topic or news story.

There’s no other organization better positioned to demonstrate the power of Twitter in healthcare than Symplur. With their well-designed “Healthcare Hashtag” Project launching in 2011, Symplur has been researching thousands of hashtags (subject matter) specific to our healthcare industry, scientific research, patient trends, CDC reports, and industry conference interactions, to name a few.

Symplur Signals promotes deep understanding of healthcare as seen by patients, doctors and other stakeholders with real-time access to insights from over a billion healthcare social media data points. The richness of data here is mind boggling and if you’re not seeing the value yet, be sure to check out Symplur for yourself.

Take the specialty pharmacy industry for example. Genentech's Avastin is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. The anti-cancer drug is used to treat a certain type of brain tumor, and certain types of cancers of the cervix, kidney, lung, colon, and rectum.

If specialty pharmacies researched specific hashtag keywords using Twitter such as #CervicalCancerthey could quickly find articles, physicians, insurance providers, and most importantly patients participating in a worldwide conversation about Cervical Cancer. Not only could these patient-care providers reach out to these patients directly through Twitter but strategically could become a digital health industry subject matter expert within that specific subject-topic or hashtag.

The Pharmacy Podcast Show will be publishing a series on leveraging the power of healthcare hashtags, which will include a fascinating interview with Symplur executives.

Be sure to subscribe to the show and reach out to learn how your Pharmacy business can see a significant benefit using Twitter.

Medical Marijuana & the Clinical Pharmacist 

http://pharmacypodcast.com/podcast/medical-marijuana-the-clinical-pharmacist/

The National Medical Marijuana Accreditation Organization (NMMAO), an Ohio-based accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the cannabis industry’s dispensaries, announced today that PDI Medical, an Illinois licensed medical marijuana dispensary, is applying for Dispensary Base Accreditation.

NMMAO’s Dispensary Base Accreditation encompasses nine (9) Standards of Excellence, each representing a different dispensary-related, quality- and safety-focused function. The Standards address the structures and processes that must be in place in order for state-approved dispensaries and compassionate care centers to meet the overall NMMAO Base Standard Accreditation.  

“Marijuana dispensaries throughout the United States are operated by a variety of names, personalities and faces. PDI Medical is a highly respected, clinically-driven dispensary,” PDI Medical owner and registered pharmacist Joseph Friedman commented. “The NMMAO documented accreditation process differentiates those dispensaries that are truly helping patients with their healthcare needs, from those that are simply getting patients high on THC. By passing NMMAO’s strict accreditation process, PDI Medical will further prove its healthcare value to patients, caregivers and the state of Illinois.”

Here's what you need to know about the iMedicate iMPACT! 

Demystify PBM Reimbursements  

See which plans pay you more for specific medications on specific plans and identify opportunities to make more money. It even calculates your DIR fees. Don't forget Medicare or Medicaid patients can change plans any time during the year.

Avoid Preferred Closed Networks  

View plans in your network as well as which plans your pharmacy is preferred on. Moreover, you can now see which Medicare plans have been reported to send letters or make phone calls to patients pressuring them to go to other pharmacies or to mail-order. 

View therapeutic alternatives on formulary  

It's time to stop calling insurance to check what's covered. iMedicare shows drug alternatives on every formulary, with their coverage tier and copay, as well as reimbursement for each alternative.  Now you can give the doctor options that are cost effective for the patient without ever calling the insurance company. You can even see if a new drug will put them in the donut hole sooner.

Improve Your Star Rating  

iMedicare can increase revenue and improve your pharmacy's star rating by identifying which patients can benefit from actionable interventions.  Whether it is a Diabetes patient needing an ACE-I/ARB or a patient with several high risk medications, you can identify therapy changes that are cost effective for the patient, as well as increase reimbursements.

Pete’s Ideal Budget Plan: http://blog.petetheplanner.com/how-much-should-you-spend-on-housing-car-groceries-and-gifts/

First 3 things to consider for making a career change:

1. Look at major/master categories of expenses – are you willing to make a change?
2. Is retirement being offered in a new role you’re looking at, esp. if you’re taking a pay-cut?

3. If taking a pay cut – analyze opportunity costs. Can you put an economic value on

            your happiness?

Values Assessment Cards: http://www.motivationalinterviewing.org/sites/default/files/valuescardsort_0.pdf

Take gross monthly income: $10K per month, hypothetically in retail:

“The Albert/Baller Ratio”

            -How much is your money (%) moving you forward each month?

1. How much per month are you getting out of debt?
2. How much per month are you saving for retirement?

            -If this bucket is 35% or greater = you’re doing well!

            -If below 10%? You need to re-evaluate before expenses changing jobs…

Rainy Day Fund for reserve – how much should someone have in reserve?

            -3 months minimum

            -If taking a pay cut or in sales, 6 months is warranted

            -Should be and stay liquid

Education beyond the PharmD – money considerations here?

1. Don’t take out more student loans than you need.
2. Open a 529 Plan – states vary on amounts for tax credit/advantages
3. Roth IRA – can also be used for education
4. Does employer have a tuition reimbursement option to further your education?

About TelePharm: 

In 2010, Roby Miller’s family owned a chain of six rural retail pharmacies in eastern Iowa. The small communities where their pharmacies were located, thanks largely to policy changes related to payments for prescription medications, weren’t providing enough business to cover the expense of operating a pharmacy. Due to these financial constraints, the family was forced to close one pharmacy and sell another – and the remaining pharmacies were at risk.

We talked with Brian Dickerson with FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law Experts about the increasing Federal Government targeting pharmacy businesses.

The FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law team has observed an increase in the Department of Justice and Department of Defense’s coordinated efforts to conduct investigations into alleged violations of the False Claims Act for claims submitted to TRICARE.

Lately, the Department of Labor has joined the enforcement actions for what they perceive as alleged overbilling for compounded medications. The aggressiveness of the federal agencies enforcement was in full view when pharmacies in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Utah were part of coordinated take-down raid this past February. We believe similar national take-down raids are likely to occur in the future.
