I am interested in the community pharmacy setting, and I currently work as a pharmacy intern at Fairview Hiawatha Pharmacy, which is a community pharmacy focused serving the neighborhood. Community pharmacists bring the value to patients and the healthcare system in the following two aspects. The first is that when patients have new prescriptions, community pharmacists would provide easy understanding consultation to them.

For me, choosing to pursue a career in pharmacy was far from planned. I knew that I wanted to find a profession which I could find self fulfilling. So, one could say I knew as much about pharmacy and its history as an average person. I’ve always imagined that pharmacy and the entire profession as a whole was relatively modern. In other words, I never really took pharmacy as a profession with a history. I’ve always thought that pharmacy and medicine, as one, essentially made its largest strides with the technology boom of the 21st century. During my visit, I realized I was both right, but also, wrong in a sense.

Lack of confidence with women in the workplace is also influenced and effected by how women are perceived in social media and television. According to Steele (2005), “Exposure to stereotypic commercials persuade women to avoid leadership roles” (p. 276).
