Didn't match for residency? Here's why you'll be just fine
About this podcast
Welcome to the “Hey Rx Friends, We Got This!” podcast where we share our thoughts on the pharmacy profession, experiences as healthcare providers, and explore our identities as two women of color going after it all.
We met during our entrepreneurial journeys. Our shared interest in becoming business owners and rejecting the traditional roles of pharmacy led to a friendship and now this collaboration. Our shared passion for helping others has given life to this beautiful podcast.
As we share our stories, we hope you laugh, maybe cry, and feel inspired, as you get to know us.
