Farmagenius,

Thank you for your compliment. I have been here, in the US, to fulfill my advanced degrees. I happened to learn from professors who are knowledgeable about all these issues. I have Master of Business Administration and Master of Science/ Management Information System and went on to Speech Communication from U.S. accredited universities.

Even though I have Intern licenses in many states, I cannot move because of family obligation.

I did a lot of research about pharmacist shortage, pharmacy operation, and outsourcing. Medicare part D. seems to be a big issue that phases out pharmacy and medical industry.

I feel that operating management should be added to pharmacy program. I took this class long time ago since my second year of my pharmacy school. Then, when I came to USA, my professor told me that I had to retake all those business courses since they were taken over 8 years. Marketing Strategies and Operating Management have changed over time. I found that taking these classes in my business schools in recent years was useful.

I have strong feeling about how pharmacists have been put in unacceptable working conditions where speed is an issue. When medication errors occur, pharmacists are responsible for those errors.

I wish that every party come together to solve this problem.

Best wishes,

Knok
