How pharmacists can become indispensable


The key to survival in pharmacy practice is to never be comfortable with the status quo. If you are a pharmacist, you should try to work toward being indispensible to your employer by doing the following:

1. Be the one the patient asks for when they visit the pharmacy. If you develop a strong patient clientele, employers will see you as an asset more than an expense.

2. Generate business. If you aren't generating revenue, you are generating costs.

3. Don't be a jerk. You have to generate a lot of revenue to overcome the negative impact on your career of being a jerk. Even high earners are dispensible if they are big enough jerks.
