Building Healthcare Software as a Pharmacist
I watched a TED Conferences in 2013 when I was a PGY-1 Pharmacy Resident at Sarasota Memorial Health Care System about how innovation typically happens at the intersection of very different things. Some may refer to this idea as "hashtag#orthogonal thinking". Nevertheless, it's always been on the back of my mind over the years as I've continually found benefit in learning about things outside of my general sphere of hashtag#pharmacy.
Given that I've been diving deeper into the hashtag#technical weeds of hashtag#software development, I wanted to share a bit of my experience thus far on how it has been going. In case you didn't want to read the article, the tl;dr is simply: I absolutely love applying my domain expertise in building hashtag#healthcare software.

6 Weeks Until I Graduate Stanford's Biomedical Informatics Graduate Certificate
It feels like forever since I started my first class, BIOMEDIN260 - Data Science for Medicine, less than a year ago in September 2022. They say time flies when you're having fun, but that's also true when you're extremely busy. As I near the completion of Stanford University School of Medicine's Biomedical Informatics (#BMI) Graduate Certificate in 6 weeks and begin my journey through Stanford University School of Engineering's Computer Science (#CS) courses, I wanted to take some time to reflect on my experience thus far.

WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP…STILL
I spent the last 2 months engaged in conversation with an assortment of individuals about what I want to be when I grow up. Yes, I'm still trying to figure that out. In fact, I don't think I ever really settled into a career as of yet that made me go, "Wow, I want to do this for the rest of my life".
The thing that fascinates me the most though is that I'm not alone. There are so many individuals out there wondering the same thing. Aside from exploring my own interests, I spent a great deal of time conversing with others, often strangers, on what paths they should take as well. It seemed as though the article I wrote about Data Science resonated with many of you who are in careers at the intersection of healthcare and technology.
In this month's article, I wanted to reflect on some of the conversations I've had over the last 2 months, but also share with you some of my next steps.
