Abstract

Given the limited availability of conventional pharmacy positions, pharmacy programs face a challenge in ensuring that all graduates obtain jobs that fulfill their goals and ambitions. Thus, it is imperative to explore and discuss unconventional but promising positions, specifically regarding their availability and needs. In exploring these positions, it is important to recognize technical and nontechnical skill sets that pharmacy graduates possess at graduation, identify unique pathways to help students explore job alternatives, and educate faculty and students about employment opportunities beyond the traditional setting if desired or necessary. Students must become aware of the opportunities that exist in both conventional (pharmacist clinician) and unconventional (pharmacist innovator) pharmacy careers and be able to articulate the translational skills from their training. Pharmacy programs and faculty can better support students by fostering the development and marketing of their skills.
