A POSITIVE experience during a pharmacist's intern year can make all the difference in getting set up for a successful career.
Executive Officer of the Pharmacists' Support Service (PSS), Kay Dunkley (pictured), is hosting a session 'Setting yourself up for a successful intern year' at the Pharmacy Careers Summit 2025 (PCS25) on 04 Jul.
"Our expert panel of registered pharmacists have many years of experience working with interns and will share their valuable insights into how you can have a successful year as an intern pharmacist and set yourself up to thrive in your career as a pharmacist," Dunkley said.
The session will cover topics such as the culture of your ideal workplace and ensuring it is a good fit for you; workplace entitlements (pay, leave and breaks) and responsibilities; making the most of learning opportunities and feedback; and maximising professional networking opportunities.
"We will also discuss balancing work and studying and looking after yourself, and how to access support and guidance if difficulties arise," Dunkley said.
There will also be an opportunity to chat online with members of the expert panel during the session.
