Announcement: Drug Topics has run a lot of great stories since we launched the series "Pathways through Pharmacy" several months ago. Now we're asking for more! Our purpose is to present your stories: how you came to pharmacy, how your path unfolded, and where it has led you. We hope to show the many choices that show up when minds are open, as well as some of the many pathways that can lead to satisfaction and a happy life. Here's your chance to share what you have learned through your life in pharmacy! Send your contributions to drugtopics@advanstar.com today.
