"I plan to take my continuing education courses as required, but I want to use them as an opportunity to explore areas of interest in the field. For example, I'm passionate about working with the elderly, so I plan to pick up courses related to geriatric pharmacy and nutrition support pharmacy trends and topics. I also plan to join pharmacy technician forums and groups so that I can network with others and build relationships with other professionals as I begin my career."

"I have always had a passion for learning, so I truly enjoy following industry trends and staying current on all things pharmacy. I attend conferences not just to attend the continuing education sessions but to also meet industry thought leaders, network and build relationships with other pharmacy professionals and catch up on industry trends and innovation.
I also subscribe to two pharmacy magazines called Pharma Times and Pharmafield, both have interesting articles on new medications and various other topics."
