While you're clocking in and out for cranky customers, other PharmDs are earning $200K+ working remotely with unlimited PTO. Your biggest problem? You don't know what other roles are out there for PharmD's. You're like me and only know pharmacist-centric roles because that's all we've been taught and all we've been exposed to.
STILL ASKING PERMISSION TO TAKE TIME OFF? Meanwhile, pharma employees get industry-wide summer and winter breaks. Tech workers take "workcations" whenever they want. But you? You're begging for coverage just to attend your kid's recital.HIT THE $140K PHARMACY CEILING? Your pharmacy professors never told you that MSLs make $180-250K. That healthcare consultants bill $300/hour. That medical writers work from beaches making $150K+. Why? Because they don't know either!THINK YOUR RPh LICENSE = JOB SECURITY? That license is actually your ball and chain. The highest-paying PharmD careers don't even require it. You're a STEM doctorate holder limiting yourself to one tiny corner of the job market.
✓ Medical Science Liaisons earn $180-250K with company cars and expense accounts
✓ Pharmaceutical executives make $300-500K+ without ever touching a prescription
✓ Healthcare consultants charge $150-300/hour working from anywhere
✓ Medical writers earn $120-180K with complete location freedom
How to Turn Your $200,000 PharmD Into a $250K+ Non-traditional Career (Without Counting Pills, Dealing With Insurance, or Clocking In Ever Again)
⚠️ REALITY CHECK: You spent $200,000+ on your PharmD degree. You're a DOCTOR with a STEM education. Yet you're making less than a 25-year-old software engineer, working weekends, and getting yelled at by customers. Something's wrong with this picture.
Discover 50+ careers that pay MORE than pharmacy, require ZERO weekend shifts, and let you work from anywhere (most don't even need your RPh license!)
Your professors taught you that clinical work was the pinnacle of success. That your RPh license was your golden ticket. That pharmacy was a "stable career."That's not the whole truthNot because they're trying to keep you stuck in trad pharmacy. But because they literally don't know any better. They've never worked outside academia. They don't know that:

"It's a complete resource to help guide the decision making process from point A to point Z." ★★★★★ 10/10 - Would Recommend
"This opens your eyes and your mind to how powerful your PharmD is. It can open doors that you never imagined were available. You have to be willing and ready to do the work." ★★★★★ 9/10 - Life Changing
BEFORE: "Online presence and connecting with people [was my biggest challenge]. I felt like I was hiding in the shadows."
AFTER: "PharmD HQ gave me the tools I need to stop hiding in the shadows and get myself out there. I'm finally visible to opportunities."
BEFORE: "My days were so jam packed with work and family that I felt adding on something else would be the end for me."
AFTER: "This self-paced program fit perfectly into my full-time schedule. The templates saved me hundreds of hours."
• PharmDs who are DONE with weekends, nights, and holiday shifts
• Anyone who's hit the $140K pharmacy ceiling and wants MORE
• PharmDs tired of asking permission to live their lives
• Those who know they're worth more than counting pills
• Anyone ready to leverage their DOCTORATE for real money and freedom
• Those who need a self-paced program with clear, easy templates
❌ You think "clinical work is the only noble path" (stay in your pharmacy)
❌ You're not willing to post on LinkedIn (visibility is non-negotiable)
❌ You want someone to hand you a job (this teaches you to CREATE opportunities)
❌ You think your RPh license is your identity (it's just paper)
❌ You're not ready to see yourself as more than "just a pharmacist"
Every day you stay in traditional pharmacy, you're losing money.
Not just the difference between your $140K ceiling and the $200K+ you could be making...
But the COMPOUND EFFECT of being in a dead-end career:
The 10-Year Lost Earnings Check:
*Stay in Pharmacy: $140K × 10 years = $1.4 million (before taxes)
Non-Traditional Path: $200K average × 10 years = $2 million (minimum)
You're leaving $600,000+ on the table
Plus: No equity, no bonuses, no flexibility, no remote work
The question isn't whether you can afford PharmD HQ...
It's whether you can afford NOT to join."It's unlike any other program available to PharmDs. This is the coaching you need BEFORE changing careers or hiring an expensive coach."

Want Proof the PharmD HQ System Really Works? Ok, a PharmD HQ Case Study*
Three Final Thoughts from the Founder, Dr. Jamie Wilkey:
1. Your pharmacy professors couldn't teach you this because they don't know it exists. They've never worked in industry. They don't how to navigate MSL roles that make $250K or that medical writers work from Bali. This is insider knowledge from PharmDs who've actually made the leap.2. That RPh license you're clinging to? It's your ball and chain. The highest-paying PharmD careers don't need it. You're a DOCTOR with a STEM degree limiting yourself to one tiny corner of the job market. Time to think bigger.3. Every month you wait is another month of asking permission for time off, dealing with insurance companies, and watching your earning potential rot at $140K while tech kids half your age make twice your salary. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.You didn't spend $200,000 on a PharmD to make $140K forever.
It's time to get the career (and paycheck) you actually deserve.

Want more proof that this actually works? Ok, here are exact quotes from real PharmD HQ students: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Rest assured I found [this] extremely useful."
"I love your platform!"
"I honestly think that what I needed during this… was to really validate my idea(s), brainstorm the trajectory required to bring it to life, and really give myself the confidence to move forward."
"Thank you so much! I feel 1000X better:) Went from banging my head against the wall to having so much fun. I can tell you I love the format/organization/templates-it's all easy to follow along."
"Thank you so much for this follow up, checklist, and information ….sparked a blazing fire in me that has been flickering for a while. 🔥"
"My life is changing because you believed I could do it. This helped me retool. Thank You!!!"
"Thank you for your content. It’s the reason I stepped out of my comfort zone and took my new role!"
"I have really enjoyed the Action Items and reframing my mindset. Interestingly, for a long time throughout my career, I have had many of these thoughts about the bigger picture work being done, but still stuck myself inside the box of being "just a pharmacist." So, I thoroughly appreciate your thoughts and your insight that validate what I've known to be true for such a long time. That fellow validation provides a ton of encouragement 🙂🙂"
"Love love love the content! Super awesome…Almost like it reads me. "
"Found that I rate very highly in 3D visualization and it was recommended I do something that I can really SEE to feel accomplished. This rings VERY true for me as part of the thing I actually loved about working retail was the clear visual representation of what I had “done” - prescriptions all neatly bagged and stapled!"
"I know I can go in clinical research, pharma, industry, bio pharma, regulatory positions, medical liaison, social media, marketing etc. however, these are not completely non-traditional. It’s not regular pharmacist job but also nothing extraordinary like no one’s ever heard of."
"I know in my heart what I REALLY want is to work remote (maybe even hybrid) while engaging in a clinical sense whether that be with other medical professionals or using my skills to help in business development. I have the degrees, I have the manager experience, I am more than this retail stuff I am stuck in…..I told myself I will not be at another retail store during flu season giving 1000 shots all day!"
"As someone that never went traditional pharmacy it’s been a fun almost 10 years out of school (with my own brief startup consulting company along the way). I’ve settled into a cushy spicy 2 level since I’ve had a baby. In a few years though this reminds me to not forget I can always push my own boundaries "
"Something every pharmacist should take to heart to truly understand their worth and the immense value they bring to the workforce. I plan to print them out and read them daily, especially on those tough days when I doubt my worth or knowledge. These reminders help me recognize that I use these skills every single day. Thank you for uplifting your fellow pharmacists and guiding the profession in new, inspiring directions. You are the true definition of a trailblazer."
"I’m not really a pharmacist, I just played one for many many years. I’m ready to move on."
"I did it!I truly believe that you can help me make this move and am willing to invest in myself."
"Great information! All of this has proven true in my transition to a non-traditional role. Thanks for putting this together. I hope all is well. 😊”
"I am not sure that those looking for the transitional career move know just how powerful this course could be for them. Nice work- perhaps you’re also a psychologist now 😛. Good luck!"
"I just finished registering for PharmD HQ and hope it will be the push I need to get out of the retail spiral."
"Thank you for starting this program! It is long overdue."
"I think I’ve figured out what I want to do when I grow up ( at the age of 59) - I want to write! Everything from regulatory writing to health journalism."
"Everything's going great in PharmD HQ. I'm excited to be here."
"All good so far, fitting in lessons when I can so I can really make use of them while trying to study for BCPS. Already realizing how badly I needed a perspective shift on my abilities! Thanks!"
"Looking forward to getting started on this! Thank you for creating this resource for us all. 🫶🏼"
"This course has given me lots to think about and new programs to explore and learn. I'll confess, I've never used AI until this course other than helping with Google searches. And I've been going through your 50+ careers and working backwards, I'm not sure exactly what I want, but I know several things I don't, so I'm crossing off what I don't want to do and then considering and exploring what is left….. I hope to know a lot more about myself and feel like I'm in a better position not only to apply for a job, but perhaps even have one offered to me."
"thank you for this wonderful program and the amazing content that you provide"
"I’ve been on my own at this and clearly it’s a hot mess! I’m willing to put in the work. It’s what I do. I just need some guidance and awareness of what my options are."
"I found out in October that my position was being eliminated. After I got over the initial shock, I saw this life altering moment for what it could be…the opportunity to forge a new career path that I probably would have never even imagined! I am ready to leave the clinical world behind and am looking for roles in the pharmaceutical industry or in managed care."
"Got laid off last year in June and have been locuming since. I don't want to go back into the dispensary full-time again
and so charting my way out."
""I didn't go to school for 7 years, accumulate this significant amount of debt, and get a DOctorate of Pharmacy degree to make below 50k/year and not be happy.”
" The most helpful part for me was creating my Transferable Skills Portfolio. It helped me clearly articulate my strengths and experiences in a way that aligns with different career paths. Before this, I struggled with framing my skills outside of traditional pharmacy roles, but this exercise made it much easier to see how my background translates into non-traditional roles. It also gave me confidence, knowing I have a strong foundation and helping me get comfortable professionally speaking about my skills."
"I am embracing this new way of thinking and really feel this time will be different! I am so looking forward to sharing the details with you once I work through it all! I cannot thank you enough!!"
