Favorite Thing About Carolina Pharmacy?
Working for a company that allows you to explore what you love in pharmacy and pursue it as a career. I never knew I liked marketing. Now that I work in a field that people know little about (compounding pharmacy), I get to educate a lot of patients and providers on how compounded medicine can help when traditional medicine cannot.
