Drawing inspiration from www.iamapharmacist.com  website, PIER is asking all pharmacists in industry, education and regulatory roles to produce a video with the following details: • Introduce yourself and explain where you work currently.

• Outline where you graduated from and provide a brief summary of your career history to-date.

• Describe a typical working day.

• Explain briefly why you believe that your pharmacy degree was an ideal basis for the career path you have taken to-date.

Technical Guidance: • Video clip to last 2-3 minutes. • Ideally record your video clip in your workplace. • Clip doesn’t necessarily need to be recorded professionally but try to use a microphone to record as high a quality piece as possible.
