This is exactly what you’ll find at Women in Pharmacy — plus something more. Not just information about products, business processes and clinical programs. But the inspiration of other women who have gone before you.
Meet Jessica and Jennifer Macklin
Jessica and Jennifer are practicing pharmacists and entrepreneurs who have their eyes firmly set on pharmacy ownership.?The twin sisters already have a taste of entrepreneurship: they’ve run the event decorating and novelty division of their family’s full-service event center since they were 17 years old.
"It's hard enough becoming a pharmacist. We need a support group to help us do more than dream about owning our own pharmacy. Women in Pharmacy is helping us take that next, big step — vs. the 'safe route' of working for someone else."

"In school, they teach you the science of being a clinician, but not the art of being a businesswoman;that art is all about?relationships. There’s risk being a businessperson, but also reward — because being an independent owner allows you to provide better, more personal care. So seek the independent route — and women who have successfully taken it. The Women in Pharmacy community is the perfect way to do just that. See if ownership is more profitable for you, in both financial and?humanterms."
