A Cry for a Financially Well Pharmacist Workforce | Tim Ulbrich | TEDxBGSU

The 300,000+ pharmacists practicing in the United States are foundational to the health infrastructure of our nation; evident by the critical role they have played throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in providing vaccine and testing services. In addition to facing unprecedented workload pressures and levels of burnout, these individuals often carry the burden of financial stressors hallmarked by a median debt load upon graduation of $170,000. This session, presented by Tim Ulbrich, a pharmacist and Co-Founder & CEO of Your Financial Pharmacist, will explore financial wellness strategies to support the pharmacist workforce and the essential medication and patient care services they provide.
