New episode: What if one small "yes" in your first year could change the direction of your entire career?
🎙️ In this episode of Your Pharmacy Career Podcast 🎙️
Host Krysti-Lee Patterson sits down with Mia Avram - final-year pharmacy student at Monash University and National President of the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA).
Mia's journey is a powerful reminder that some of the biggest career opportunities begin with simply putting your hand up.
From choosing pharmacy at the last minute to leading an organisation representing more than 5,000 pharmacy students, Mia shares how getting involved early shaped her passion for leadership and advocacy.
She also takes us behind the scenes of the national campaign that secured access to paid placements for pharmacy students from July 2027, all while balancing full-time study, work and leadership responsibilities.
💡 In this episode:
• Why saying yes to opportunities can transform your career
• How student advocacy helped secure paid placements
• Why pharmacists need a voice in national policy discussions
• Balancing study, work and leadership while knowing when to ask for help
• The importance of mentorship and supporting the next generation of pharmacists
"Our voice is so important. We need to be in the room where those discussions are being held."
