Here\u2019s our advice: Even if your first job isn\u2019t a good fit, it\u2019s far easier to change professional direction with a Pharm.D. degree than in many other health professions. Community pharmacists often work in hospitals and other clinics; clinical pharmacists frequently transition to industry roles as science liaisons; and those industry pharmacists have clear pathways to work on policy or in academia.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In fact, paid residencies and continuing education, including additional certifications, make it possible to switch tracks at any point in your career. That kind of flexibility speaks to the universality of a Pharm.D. degree and is just one more reason why it\u2019s so valuable.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Find Your Calling at Chapman<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Take your first step to any of these challenging, satisfying careers in the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/pharmacy\/academic-programs\/pharmd\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Pharm.D. program at Chapman University\u2019s School of Pharmacy<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.
