If you’re only typing “pharmacist” into LinkedIn, you’re only seeing a fraction of the jobs your background could apply to. Try searching by the type of work instead. Healthcare operations. Implementation. Clinical strategy. Medical information. Drug safety. Regulatory. Product. Customer success. Then actually read the job description before deciding you’re not qualified. You may be surprised how often the requirements overlap with work you’ve already been doing. Save this for your next LinkedIn search. Comment GUIDE👇 and I’ll send you my framework for exploring nontraditional career options with your PharmD. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

Hi, I’m Amanda 👋🏼 I grew up in Connecticut, moved to South Florida for pharmacy school, and spent years building the career I thought I was supposed to want. I’m a PharmD, fitness coach, former pharmacy manager, and now work in digital health + product while building businesses of my own. This page has evolved with me. I talk about nontraditional pharmacy careers, digital health, fitness, wellness, evidence-based health, and all the different ways you can use a PharmD outside of the paths we were traditionally shown. I’m a big believer that having a doctorate doesn’t mean having all the answers. Stay curious, question things, keep learning, and don’t be afraid to outgrow the plan you started with. If you’re a pharmacist (or student) trying to create more options for your career and your life, you’re in the right place. 🤍 taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

One of the biggest mistakes pharmacists make when looking for nontraditional jobs: We keep searching the word “pharmacist.” So I went looking for actual job postings where a PharmD or pharmacy background could make sense… and the job title says absolutely nothing about being a pharmacist. Here are a few live examples I found: 1. Product Management & Strategy Manager: Deloitte / ConvergeHEALTH A life sciences product role focused on market access, payer contracting, formularies, rebates, AI-enabled workflows and pharmaceutical commercialization. 2. Digital Patient Experience Architect: AnewHealth This one literally lists: “Master’s or PharmD degree preferred.” The role focuses on digital patient journeys, medication readiness, refill workflows, digital adoption, AI-enabled patient engagement and healthcare technology. 3. Senior Medical Writer: MMS Focused on clinical protocols, investigator brochures, clinical study reports, regulatory documents and scientific publications. A great example of where literature evaluation, clinical knowledge and scientific communication can translate but the posting also requires substantial industry writing experience. And that’s the bigger point: Your PharmD may be relevant to jobs called: Medical Writer Clinical Scientist Medical Information Manager Product Manager Medical Science Liaison Patient Experience Architect Market Access Manager Healthcare Strategist …but if you only search “pharmacist,” you may never see them. A PharmD doesn’t automatically qualify you for every one of these roles, but it can give you a foundation of skills and healthcare knowledge that you can build on. Stop searching only by profession. Start searching by function. Save this before your next LinkedIn search. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

Pharmacists... You may already qualify for this job… and not realize it 👀 A lot of pharmacists think they need completely new experience to move into a nontraditional role. Sometimes they don’t. They’ve already trained teams, rolled out workflows, solved operational problems, managed change, and coordinated with different stakeholders. They just haven’t been calling those skills implementation. That’s why searching only by job title can make you miss roles you may already be more qualified for than you think. taken in Boca Raton, Florida by @dramandaataei

If you’re trying to move from traditional pharmacy into a new area of healthcare, don’t filter out a job just because it says “contract.” A 3, 6, or 12-month role can give you something that’s incredibly valuable when you’re changing career direction: proof that you can do the work. Instead of telling employers you’re interested in managed care, medical affairs, operations, product, or another healthcare function, you can point to actual experience on your resume. And that experience can open the door to the next opportunity, whether that’s another contract or a permanent role. When you’re making a career pivot, the first opportunity doesn’t have to be the final destination. Sometimes you just need a way in. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

A lot of pharmacists screen themselves out too early. They see a title like Product Implementation Manager and immediately think: “That’s not for me.” But when you actually read the job description, you start seeing things like: → Project coordination → Workflow improvement → Training → Troubleshooting → Documentation → Stakeholder communication → Process improvement Those are all areas where a pharmacist may already have relevant experience. Now, that does not mean you automatically qualify. This specific role also requires athenaOne experience and healthcare technology or ambulatory workflow knowledge. Those are real gaps you’d need to account for. The point is this: Don’t let the job title make the decision for you. Read the responsibilities first. Identify where your experience overlaps. Then look at the actual requirements and decide what you truly have, what you can translate, and what you still need to build. That’s a much better way to evaluate nontraditional roles than asking, “Does this job say pharmacist?” taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

Pharmacists: your degree has more options than the jobs you were shown. Retail and hospital are two paths. They are not the entire map. Your PharmD can also translate into roles across: • Medical affairs • Pharmacovigilance • Clinical research • Managed care & utilization management • Medical writing • Market access • Quality & compliance • Healthcare operations • Clinical informatics • Industry And some of these roles value your clinical knowledge, communication, problem-solving, and healthcare experience without requiring you to spend your day dispensing prescriptions. The degree is not the limitation. Knowing where else to use it is the part pharmacy school didn’t exactly hand you a roadmap for. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

If you needed a sign to go for that nontraditional role, this is it. You’ll literally stay stuck if you never try. Your PharmD is more transferable than you think. Someone like you already made the jump. The worst they can say is no. Save this for the day you need the push.

Time is money & not all job postings are worth your time. Here are 4 green flags I look for in nontraditional roles: 1. They list transferable skills, not just years in retail 2. Clear growth path or mentorship 3. They value clinical judgment, not just speed 4. Flexible, remote friendly, or project based Save this for your next job search. You’ll want it when you start scrolling. Be a good friend… Share this with a PharmD buddy who’s job hunting 🤍 taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

One of the biggest mistakes I made earlier in my career was only searching for jobs with “pharmacist” in the title. Because your pharmacy background can be valuable in roles that look nothing like traditional pharmacy practice. A few titles worth exploring: → Implementation → Healthcare Operations → Product → Medical Writing → Clinical Strategy No, having a PharmD does NOT automatically qualify you for these roles. But your experience with healthcare workflows, clinical information, problem-solving, communication, operations, and patient care may give you transferable skills that are relevant. The key is to stop asking: “Does this job say pharmacist?” And start looking deeper into: “What does this role actually do, and which parts of my background translate?” Save this and search these titles on LinkedIn tonight. You may be SUPER surprised by what comes up. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei

Applying to nontraditional roles and hearing crickets? You’re probably making one of these 5 resume mistakes: 1. Listing dispensing duties instead of transferable skills 2. Using one generic resume for every role 3. No clear pivot story in your headline 4. ATS-unfriendly formatting 5. LinkedIn that doesn’t match your resume I broke them down for you. Save this for your next application. I’m putting all my fixes (templates, bullet translations, LinkedIn formulas) into my Resume + LinkedIn Kit.

I get so many messages from pharmacists and healthcare professionals outside the U.S. asking: “Can I apply to the remote jobs you share?” And this is probably the best way I can recommend tackling it: Don’t assume “remote” means “work from anywhere.” Before you apply, check: → Where the company allows employees to live
→ Whether the role requires U.S. work authorization
→ Whether specific countries, states, or regions are listed
→ Whether the posting actually says “work from anywhere” or “global remote” There are international opportunities out there, including roles in research, scientific writing, data analysis, operations, and life sciences. So when you see a remote job that interests you, don’t stop at the title or the “remote” label. Click into the actual posting and read further. The details deeper in the listing are usually where you’ll find the location requirements, work authorization requirements, and whether the company is actually open to hiring someone where you live. Sometimes the answer is no. But sometimes, you may find an opportunity you would have otherwise scrolled right past. Read the full posting before ruling yourself in or out. taken in Miami, Florida by @dramandaataei
