We’ve Come a Long Way...But There Are Still Barriers to Overcome!
Allison Benz, R.Ph.
Executive Director, Texas State Board of Pharmacy
Research shows clear gender disparities in the way women experience their pharmacy careers. This includes disparities in career progression and seniority, where women are over-represented among pharmacy students and in staff-level positions, but greatly under-represented in senior positions such as pharmacy owners or executive roles. The way we work has changed and evolved. Understanding the emerging trends associated with this shift, and the potential barriers faced, better prepares women for the future of our profession.
