Pharmacy Future Leaders

Today's Pharmacy Future Leaders interview is with the entreprenurial blogger Dr. Madeline Acquilano PharmD The Luxe Pharmacist Madeline is in her sixth (P4) year of pharmacy school in Boston, Massachusetts. Madeline states: "I grew up in a small town in beautiful, woodsy New Hampshire. My father had the pleasure (and challenge) of raising three daughters, after growing up in a household with four brothers. Needless to say, as girly as I am now, that was not always the case. I grew up in the woods on our ATV trails; hiking mountains, going on bike rides, and was enrolled in sports my first year of elementary school. I may not have become the star athlete that my father had wanted, but rest assured his efforts did not go to waste. He made me tough; he showed me how to work hard and to never take no for an answer. Ultimately, he showed me how to be a role model to others by being one himself. Fast forward to now many years later; I can attribute much of my success in pharmacy school to those same principles. It has always been my dream to inspire others, especially women, being that I am the oldest, and have two little sisters that look up to me. I believe all women should feel empowered and inspired, not only to go after their dreams (whatever those may be), but to also be a positive role model for other women and our society. I have grown so much over the past five years of pharmacy school. Through the triumphs and the lows of a rigorous program; I have become a passionate future pharmacist, a better leader, a more compassionate person and above all someone that I am very proud to be." https://theluxepharmacist.com/pharmacy-school/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Originally from the small seaside town of South Dartmouth Massachussetts, She earned a bachelors and masters in business at the University of Rhode Island and earned her PharmD in an accelerated program at the University of Saint Joseph School of Pharmacy. A three time marathon runner qualifying for Boston with a time of 3 hours 27 minutes and she ran both the 2012 and 2013 Boston Marathons. Everyone’s leadership road is a little different, yours started in business school, tell us how you got into pharmacy? You picked a 3-year program and went through with your sister, what was that like? You mentioned at the end of that term, you were literally holding an infant while you were Skyping in to your last class. What was it like in that last year of pharmacy school, what tips can you give busy parents? Some pharmacists are looking for alternate careers in pharmacy, some with significant autonomy or creative license, can you tell us about your work at RxInsider? Does your job involve significant travel? Tell us the pros and cons of a career like that. We’ve met on LinkedIn, tell me how you use social media personally and professionally including MyCred. You have a clear passion for working within a creative group, what’s it like to have that kind of group dynamic, how are doing many team projects different than maybe a traditional pharmacy role? How did the University of Rhode Island prepare you for the work you do? How did the University of St. Joseph prepare you for the work that you do? You’re a marathoner (so am I, but I’m a 3:50 - 4:10 marathoner), how would you equate pharmacy to running? I’ve been to Woonsocket, but tell me a little bit about Rhode Island and West Hartford Connecticut, what’s it like to spend college years there? What blanket advice would you have for new graduates?

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?
