“I am so grateful that I attended the PLS CV workshop. I honestly had no clue how to properly format a curriculum vitae. All the mentors from both hospital and community settings were extremely helpful with tips on areas to improve.”

-Thao Aparicio, Class of 2024

Methodology

  • Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the Epsilon Beta Phi Lambda Sigma chapter has had difficulty effectively host career development opportunities, such as CV development. We also felt that our chapter had a lot to offer our College’s students in terms of creating leadership development opportunities.
  • It was important to our chapter that, as the premiere pharmacy leadership society, we needed to provide these opportunities to the Classes of 2024 & 2025.
  • We also prioritized providing meaningful, unique opportunities to the Classes of 2022 & 2023 who may be interested in specialties outside of inpatient pharmacy, such as long-term care pharmacy.
  • A committee of 8 PLS members developed the workshop and executed the event.
  • The workshop took place on March 29th, 2022 from 5:30 - 7:30 PM on our campus.
  • Students RSVP’d through Google Forms.
  • Pharmacists and career specialists from the following institutions were invited from the following community partners:
    • Perrone Pharmacy
    • Medical City Fort Worth
    • Baylor Scott & White All-Saints
  • Our pharmacy program hosted virtual curriculum the last two years which may have made accessing career development resources difficult for younger cohorts.
  • The Epsilon Beta chapter was proud to launch our inaugural in-person CV workshop for students pharmacists to experience multiple specialties.

“It was important to our Executive Board to jumpstart a leadership curriculum in our pharmacy program. After the pandemic, we were very grateful to host our first CV workshop in-person with many community partners.” �- Rebecca Nelson, Class of 2023 & ‘21-22 President

​

"When reviewing CVs for PLS applications, I quickly realized the lack of CV training we had at our school. This workshop allowed us to be a resource for students to develop or fine tune their CVs so that they could be a strong PLS applicant." �- Manoj Patel, Class of 2023 & ‘21-22 Chapter Delegate

  • 14 PLS Epsilon Beta members, 12 non-members, 5 pharmacotherapy faculty, 2 community pharmacists, and 1 career development specialist attended. 5 panelists are Phi Lambda Sigma alumni members.
  • For future CV workshops, we plan to collaborate with other organizations and our Career Readiness Center.
  • Epsilon Beta plans to host more professionals who represent non-traditional pharmacy career paths, such as industry or association management.
