About this Website
​
I created this website to help community pharmacists:
-
better understand the legal, third-party compliance, and operational issues facing their practice
-
by providing them the tools they need to improve efficiency and quality, and
-
by helping them return to patient care while remaining profitable.
​
While there are plenty of sites out there focusing on various aspects of the clinical side of pharmacy, there weren't really any sites out there to help pharmacists run a pharmacy.
​
It's no secret compliance and law is a boring but necessary part of practice. It's my aim to write about the subject in a more interesting and conversational way than other sites or resources out there, while bringing in my own and others' first-hand expriences.

About Me
Alex Evans, PharmD, MBA
I graduated from UNC-Greensboro with a Bachelor's of Science (Biology), from UNC-Chapel Hill with a Doctor of Pharmacy, and from West Texas A and M University with a Master's of Business Administration.
Â
I've worked as a pharmacy manager in the chain, long-term care, and health-system outpatient settings. I've learned a lot along the way, seen a lot of things done well (and not so well), made mistakes, and also made drastic and lasting improvements in those pharmacies.
​
More recently, I served as a pharmacy project manager for a large health-system and took on everything from finance and regulatory compliance to launching new service lines. In this role, I also helped with the standardization of compliance and operations for roughly 70 retail pharmacies nationwide. That gave me the ability to dig much deeper into compliance and law than I had ever been able to do on the front lines.
​
I am currently working as a medical writer and have written continuing education, trade publications, consumer health articles, and licensing exam prep courses.
​
I enjoy other kinds of writing too and write travel articles on my site Southeast Travel Guide.
