If I encountered a difficult customer, I would first listen actively to their concerns, demonstrating empathy and understanding.

I once faced a significant change when our pharmacy implemented a new software system for managing patient records. I adapted by proactively learning the new system, participating in training sessions, and assisting my colleagues in the transition to ensure we all adjusted smoothly.

I believe the most important quality for a Pharmacist in the cannabis industry is a strong commitment to patient safety. This includes being knowledgeable about cannabis products, understanding patient needs, and adhering to compliance standards to ensure effective and safe use of cannabis.
