Started the day in Formulary Management. Talked with physicians about drug therapies that are appropriate for patients and still hold down costs for clients.

When I think about my first job out of school at one of the large retail chains, I realize what a long way I've come from doing endless paperwork and selling shampoo. During those years, I believe I actually lost sight of why I'd become a pharmacist. Now I'm counseling patients, working with doctors, and analyzing drug therapies. What a change!

At Medco Health, I am able to dedicate a portion of my day to a particular function, like drug utilization review, while rotating through other functions that change from day to day. This keeps me on my toes and I'm never bored.
