Educational Landscapes

Ryan Haumschild PharmD, MS, MBA, CPEL is now Vice President of Ambulatory Pharmacy at Emory Healthcare in the Winship Cancer Institute. At the time of recording this episode he was Director of Pharmacy at Emory Healthcare in the Winship Cancer Institute. In this episode Ryan talks about how he recognized his passion for pharmacy early in life thanks to his dad's role modeling, and how he recognized the importance of obtaining pharmacy and business knowledge and skills in order to be successful in his roles as a leader. Ryan's words of wisdom include "I think none of my successes are with me personally, but it's that huge support structure [e.g., parents, wife, daughters, trainees, employees] that I think has enabled us to be so highly successful for our patients and our providers." and are summarized in the following quote: "Education is so important, and the impact you can make on the lives of others I think is invaluable. And also at the end of the day, when you are educating others, it brings value to your life and theirs, and you have such meaningful relationships. And never underscore the importance of what you're going to be educated on by teaching others and how much you can learn from others in even kind of that educational environment. Even if you are the teacher, I think there's so much to be learned. So enjoy the journey, understand where people are coming from, be passionate about what you do, engage people in the process, and you'll be able to make such a positive impact in this world."
