Day in the life of
Pharmacist – Anh Evardo
I have been a pharmacist for 9 years and I currently work in a clinic-based setting, helping physicians and other healthcare professionals manage patient’s chronic disease states, such as hypertension and diabetes. I truly enjoy my job as I work closely with these providers to make evidence-based recommendations as well as consider each patient as an individual. My job is unlike the retail setting as I work Mondays through Fridays from 9 am to 5:30 pm. I am off every weekend and major holiday. The pay is also above average for most pharmacists, especially given my years of experience.
For my background, I graduated with my Doctor of Pharmacy and completed a Post-Graduate Year 1 (PGY1) and a Post-Graduate Year 2 (PGY2) training. Completing this extra training allowed me to apply for jobs that required more clinical knowledge.
