So I am applying to pharmacy school. I don't have a lot of experience working in a retail pharmacy because my goal is to pursue a career in medical writing. My uncle is a medical writer so he let me shadow him as an "office assistant" for a year and a half while finishing my bachelor's degree. I learned a lot about the field while I was working there, so I did write about it in my personal statement. However, I am not sure if/how I should mention that it was a family member's company.
I feel like I should mention it because it is the only reason I had the opportunity to work there. I just don't know if I should mention it in my personal statement, but I am not sure where else I would have a chance to mention it as not all schools have supplemental apps.
I also want to add that I am getting a recommendation letter from my uncle's colleague. I thought this was okay because he is both objective and can attest to what I did while working there.
