Changing areas of pharmacy? There are a few things that should be considered:
Hours: see if the shifts are feasible for you. Some retail/community pharmacist shifts are 10
hours, but they also normally only work 4 days a week. Some night shift pharmacists in retail
and hospital work 7 nights and then are off for 7 nights.
Travel: depending on the position, pharmacists can have no travel or they can have 60% or
more travel involved.
Additional training: some areas of pharmacy require additional training to what was
provided in pharmacy school. Experience in specific areas will sometimes suffice for not
having the standard certifications or training.

Considering Advanced Training?
A non-traditional PharmD is designed for practicing pharmacists with a Bachelor of Science in
Pharmacy from an accredited pharmacy school who are interested in practicing at an
advanced level. Most often these programs are offered with a very flexible schedule and
through online learning, to accommodate the needs of working pharmacists. They also take
less time to complete compared to a traditional PharmD.
