Featured Webinar: Leadership and Industry Pharmacists

January 23, 2018

The Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) and the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO) collaborated on a professional development program entitled, Leadership and Industry Pharmacists. This live webinar was hosted by SNPhA on November 27, 2017 and is now archived on each organization's website.

The featured presentation on leadership was given by James Alexander, PharmD, Executive Director and CEO of the Industry Pharmacists Organization. Dr. Alexander began teaching a leadership course during his decade on faculty at Rutgers, where he served as the first Director of the prestigious Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program.

Although the webinar title infers that the content will focus on industry, Dr. Alexander states, “when you look at the title slide and it says Leadership and Industry Pharmacists, actually you can delete the word industry because it really relates to all pharmacists regardless of the practice setting.”

Dr. Alexander goes on to say how important it is for student pharmacists to explore as many of the traditional and non-traditional career pathways as possible, because it is likely that the most optimal path is one they have yet to discover.
