No...I didn't do a residency, but that was a long, long time ago. The residencies at that time were predominantly administrative & I didn't want to do that (sorry Zpack!). I wanted to stay clinical. So...I was a hospital pharmacist for 23 years (not full time mind you - some full, some part-time, but specialized in ICU & nutritional support). Then I got fed up with staffing - a different thread completely! Finally, went part-time completely with both. I have much more patient interaction in the retail setting, but much more acute interventions in the hospital setting. Both are rewarding in different ways. Plus...I have 2 retirements
!
So. do you mind me asking.. which retail setting do you work in.. To be honest, I am surprised that you get more patient contact in retail setting.. How do you manage that?
