A little about myself, I’m about 3 years out from PGY1 residency. Within that short period of time, I was able to cross train in various units within the hospital, including renal, ortho, onc, cardiac med-surg units, intermediate medical icu, intermediate cardiovasc icu, peds and NICU. I have also done a few monographs, MUE, formulary recs and presented them to P&T. Obtained a clinical assistant professor appointment from a top 5 pharmacy school for precepting APPE students, got my BCPS and recently just took BCCP, pending results.
Our inpatient manager will be available in less than a month. A few of my coworkers - pharmacists and techs included - have approached me about applying for the position. I never thought I’d ever consider a leadership position, especially this early on in my career. I also still consider myself a new pharmacist with more room to grow clinically. I had plan to focus on honing my clinical skills for the first 5 years of my career and reassess year 6 for a leadership position.
Are there any relatively “new” pharmacists here that took on a inpatient pharmacy managerial position? What was the stress level? Learning curve? How was your leadership development? How did you know you were ready to take on a leadership role? I know management role is A LOT of work, I’m just assessing my readiness to tackle on that kind of work. I have seen how dedicated our manager was and it will really be hard to replace her or fill her shoes.
