AboutBarbara Judge Expertise Outpatient pharmacy and general health. I have recently completed a Pharmceutical Care Certificate Program offered by Purdue University (Spring 1999 completion). I have personal experience dealing with terminally ill persons and their needs, as well as their families` needs. I graduated in 1984 from Pharmacy School and have been a Licensed Pharmacist since then. I have 18 years retail pharmacy experience. Prior to my pharmacy training I have 3 years hospital experience as a Nurse`s Aide.
Question What made you want to become a pharmacist. For example, did you get inspired by somebody?
Answer I volunteered in a hospital when I was 14 to 16 years old, then worked in as a Nurses Aide from 16 to 19 years old. My experiences in the hospital with patients and seeing how they reacted to medications made me want to understand drugs and how they worked. That is why I became a pharmacist.
