083 Alyson Tee
On today’s episode you are fortunate enough to hear a conversation with Trainee Pharmacist, Alyson Tee! Alyson completed her MPharm degree at Kings College London in 2022 with first class honours. She is currently completing her Trainee Pharmacist role which is split between Industry and Community Pharmacy.
It is evident from Alyson’s achievements that she is dedicated to the pharmacy profession and is always seeking out opportunities to grow as an individual as well as a professional. Alyson’s attitude towards growth is inspiring and I was delighted to hear about all of her experiences and achievements to date:
Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) Prize - Best overall student on the MPharm Programme
Johnson & Johnson Prize - Best student in the Clinical Decision Making module
Final year dissertation titled “Evaluating initiation and real-world tolerability of dapagliflozin for the management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction” was published as a poster at the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure congress in Madrid 2022 and in the British Journal of Cardiology
Multiple summer placements and internships in a variety of healthcare settings which she discusses in detail on the podcast and how this has impacted her ability to thrive in job applications and interviews
We kickstart our conversation by talking about the pharmacy profession in Malaysia as this is where Alyson is from originally. We then discuss in detail her experience as a university student, tips for job applications and interviews, interview questions that arise for Trainee Pharmacist Industry Roles, and making the most of learning opportunities that arise on a day to day basis.
A great episode for pharmacy students who want to feel inspired! Alyson is a role model for the younger generation of pharmacy students and I am proud to have launched this episode with her.
