25.01.2022 Announcement Hi everyone, Im excited to announce that I have finally completed my pharmacy internship at Duty of Care Chemist. Ive spent the past 2 years working along side Jason and the DOC team. In this time, I have gained clinical knowledge, practical skills and life experience. When I first started at DOC Chemist, I had minimal pharmacy experience, so I was in desperate need of a mentor and a supportive team. Im so grateful to have found a pharmacy that has become... a second family to me. Getting to know all of you within the local area has helped me step out of my comfort zone through your openness about your lives and circumstances. I am also thankful for all your friendly chats which has always brightened my day :) Lastly, I would like to give Jason a huge thank you for his patience and constant support in my journey of becoming a pharmacist. He is a mentor anyone would be lucky to have and I will carry his years of wisdom and experience into my practice. See you all in store soon! Mary
