I am an accomplished pharmacist in many fields of pharmacy with extensive experience in all. Excellence in organizational skills, workflow systems, quality control, communication, computer skills, low and high volume settings and production work. I truly enjoy a productive, functioning system. Repetition creates excellence. We sharpen our skills through repetition, but should not forget the human factor in what we do. The patient is why we practice and keep practicing. Empathy and selflessness for those we care for is the greatest service and reward. -Thanks for helping me-, is most satisfying to hear.
