Growing up in a small suburb outside Philadelphia, I would stop in an independent pharmacy after school to get candy or a treat. I was aware of the respect the pharmacist held in the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a teenager, I volunteered at a small local hospital to explore opportunities in medical careers.\u00a0 I was able to work at the information desk, in the emergency room, on the nursing floors, and with the dietitian in the dietary department. I helped to run lab samples from the floor to the lab and stat meds from the pharmacy to the floor. I was intrigued by the hospital pharmacy and saw another side of pharmacy. Through a process of elimination, I decided on my profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How I started pursuing pharmacy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In high school, I was told by my counselor that a career in pharmacy may not be for me\u2014I was strong in the sciences, but weak in math. I knew pharmacy school was not going to be easy, but being told that I couldn\u2019t do something, I wanted to prove to myself and everyone else that I could do it and worked hard to overcome the challenges. I was motivated and dedicated to follow my heart\u2019s desire in pursuing pharmacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While I was a student at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, I started working at CVS, and I\u2019ve stayed there for 34 years. When I graduated in 1990 and became an R.Ph., there weren\u2019t a lot of options. You went into one of three areas of pharmacy: community, hospital, or the pharmaceutical industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the things I love about pharmacy now is that it allows you to explore many different opportunities. Continuing my education has been key to unlocking those opportunities. When I relocated from Pennsylvania to Florida in 1999, I went back to school and earned my Pharm.D. from the University of Florida. Two years after graduation, I became a board-certified geriatric pharmacist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expanding my role as a pharmacist\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was challenged again when I started my own business, AdvisoRx Consulting, where I consult at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and correctional facilities. I also will provide Medication Therapy Management services with personal consulting if someone needs help with their own or parents\u2019 medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, I volunteer using my education and skills with brown bag programs in senior centers, poison prevention programs with children, and drug abuse prevention programs with teenagers. Educating people about their medication is what drives me; it\u2019s important people know what their meds are, how to take them appropriately, what to expect in side effects, and what monitoring should be done to make the meds most effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I became an immunizer in 2008 and started helping with flu clinics. Now with the COVID-19 pandemic, I&#8217;ve given almost 2,000 COVID shots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m active in the national, state, and local pharmacy association. I served as president of the Pinellas County Pharmacy Association for several years and have held various positions in the association, such as continuing education coordinator, treasurer, and vice president. I think it&#8217;s important that pharmacists stay involved, network, and know what&#8217;s going on in the profession. I want to have a strong voice and be a part of that discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/pharmacy-immunization-vaccination\/\"><b>What you should know about getting vaccinated at the pharmacy<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mentoring the next generation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passing on my experience and knowledge and mentoring the next generation is another passion of mine. In 2008, I earned a teaching certificate from the University of South Florida, and it has made me a better preceptor. I precept for five schools of pharmacy\u2014four here in Florida and one in Georgia. It&#8217;s so rewarding to see pharmacy students who I have hired or mentored go on to be leaders in the profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m excited about the future of pharmacy. I see big changes coming that will help pharmacists make smarter moves. In my consulting career, I\u2019d like to do more with medication therapy management (MTM) and personalized medicine with pharmacogenomics. Through DNA testing, pharmacogenomics can help us figure out what medicine will best treat certain patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmacy may be the best-kept secret in medicine, but I think it\u2019s important that we promote what we do. Pharmacists, for years, have been one of the most trusted professionals, and we&#8217;ve earned that. People know who their doctor is; they know who their dentist is. People should know who their pharmacist is too since we are part of the medical team. And, ultimately, that\u2019s what pharmacy is about for me and why I stay: to help people.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michele Lennox, Pharm.D., won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the 2021 Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards.
