Summary

My experience in this field of study has been through the hospital setting in independent pharmacies and retail pharmacies. I placed students in most of these pharmacies for their clinical and I had a pretty high pass rate at the college with my tech students. I absolutely loved my job within the pharmacy settings as well as an instructor teaching to the future pharmacy tech students.
