Healthcare can often seem \u201cblack and white.\u201d In a profession where streamlined treatment algorithms and efficient solutions to problems are prized, we often lack a \u201cthink outside of the box\u201d mentality. How often do we take extra steps to resolve issues faced by our colleagues, other providers, and our patients? Do we take action when we see a problem or do we ignore it, waiting for someone else to take care of it?<\/p>\n
In episode 16 of the DISRxUPT podcast<\/a>, Sue Paul details her career as a pharmacist, including the many ventures she has been involved in throughout her over 20 years in the profession. From retail pharmacy to nursing home settings to one-on-one patient counseling, Paul has done it all while keeping her patients as her top priority.<\/p>\n As a \u201cmedipreneur,\u201d Paul has certainly seen many of her incredible ideas come alive. Yet, Paul credits her success as a pharmacist to the Lord, calling her career a \u201cfaith journey.\u201d She believes that God equips His children with the wisdom and skills they need to do whatever and to go wherever He calls them.<\/p>\n In addition to trusting the Lord, Paul encourages other pharmacists and healthcare professionals to form a strong network of colleagues who offer encouragement and support. Collaborating with others to develop ideas and to put words into action can result in greater innovation than would be found working alone. No pharmacist should be an \u201cisland,\u201d and we can find great inspiration from those in our circles.<\/p>\n
