Walgreen's Pharmacy Research Paper

I was introduced into the pharmacy setting by being a part of a health science program in high school, and every week I would go to Walgreen’s pharmacy for training to become a certified pharmacy technician. After getting used to the college environment, I decided to volunteer at St. Joseph’s Pharmacy during my second semester of my freshmen year.
