Patient demand for convenient, cost-effective healthcare continues to increase. Large health systems and pharmacy organizations are increasingly looking for new ways to meet these needs, which has led to a rise in convenient care clinics and the popularity of telemedicine. Among this growing body of innovative healthcare delivery methods is the increased use of pharmacists in clinical, direct patient care roles in both inpatient and community pharmacy settings. This shift in the role of pharmacists has support from both governmental organizations and patients.1-6 - May 6, 2020 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Allied Advocacy](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-advocacy) - [access 2020](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/access-2020) # [A Portable Employment Solution for the Modern Military Family](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/a-portable-employment-solution-for-the-modern-military-family) ## Meet the modern military family: a family that often has two working parents (one serving, one in a civilian job) with two incomes, living off-base among their civilian neighbors. - May 6, 2020 | - Beth Conlin, senior program manager for Military Spouse Programs at Amazon - [Vantage Point](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/vantage-point) - [access 2020](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/access-2020) # [From Aspiring Chef to Passionate Healthcare Professional](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/from-aspiring-chef-to-passionate-healthcare-professional) ## A surprising shift in career plans for a recent high school grad led to fulfilling work helping others. - May 6, 2020 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Pharmacy Technicians](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/pharmacy-technicians) - [Vantage Point](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/vantage-point) - [access 2020](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/access-2020) # [A Pharm Tech Journey: Finding Success in Many Pharmacy Settings and Roles](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/a-pharm-tech-journey-finding-success-in-many-pharmacy-settings-and-roles) Aimee Capps’ journey as a pharmacy technician has given her career opportunities she didn’t realize were possible. When Capps was first approached about a part-time opening as a pharmacy technician with her employer, a retail pharmacy, she was a full-time bookkeeper and spent her days in a back office. With a little encouragement, she applied and started working in the pharmacy a couple of days each week, still bookkeeping on weekends. It didn’t take long before Capps says she was “hooked.” She loved helping people and seeing how much of a difference medication could make. - May 6, 2020 | - National Healthcareer Association - [In Practice](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/in-practice) - [COVID](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/covid) # [Mindfulness and Meditation: Tools to Help Stressed-Out Allied Health Students](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/how-to-help-stressed-out-allied-health-students) ## Struggling to Help Stressed Allied Health Students Succeed Academically?
