Asad Mehmood is a Pharmacist, a Medicinal Chemist, a Pharmacy Trainer and a KAPS Coach and in this episode of the Pharmacy View Podcast, talks to host Scott Carpenter, EVBC about the journey as a OS Pharmacist coming to Australia, the work being done with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and as a KAPS Coach. Asad hails from Pakistan and moved to Australia to study and successfully complete a Masters degree. Having faced many challenges including the personal journey of being a student, then working and settling in Australia, Asad wanted to make the same process easier for other aspiring Overseas Pharmacists. That is why Asad chose to become a KAPS Coach and Pharmacy Trainer. Using Facebook to connect with Overseas Pharmacists, help them immigrate to Australia and assist Australian Pharmacies deal with the current shortage of quality Pharmacists. Australia is a melting pot of world cultures and can provide Overseas Pharmacists with the two things they seek: • Better quality of life • Respect for the work that they do Asad believes managing these expectations of Overseas Pharmacists is key to ensuring their loyalty with any Australian Pharmacy business.
