Aspiring Academics: Preparing the Next Generation of Pharmacy Educators

Pharmacy Fika

The Fika Crew talks with Sara Stallworth, PharmD, MPH from the University of Kentucky and Mira Haddad from The Ohio State University about their journey toward a career in academia. Joining a college or school of pharmacy (or other academic institution) as a faculty member can be enormously rewarding, but it is not right for everyone. How do programs like AACP's Aspiring Academics and formal training programs help people determine if academia is a good fit?
