I like to see the big pictures and set an overall vision allowing the teams to get us to our new steady state. Learners will be immersed into the highs and lows on pharmacy administration, allowing the learner to really experience the many things that leaders face day in and day out. The learners will help drive the future of pharmacy practice through their engagement in project work that will carry on well after the learner has left the rotation. The learner will explore how to balance large scale operations, while ensuring we have a patient centered focus and meeting the fiscal responsibilities.
