Currently, it is the largest group of women pharmacists’ network with over 35,000 members in the United States. The Group aims to provide support to the women, provide important resources. This group is hugely successful because everyone is a pharmacist and a mother who understands the issues of work-life balance. Thus, they are all like-minded.
“I always loved working as a pharmacist, but I often worked nights and weekends and as a result missed activities and occasions for my children who had their sports held in the evening or on the weekends. I knew I loved my job and had eight years of education & training, and that I probably wasn’t the only pharmacist to feel this way about work/life balance. So one evening I logged into Facebook to find other pharmacists.
Who were potentially struggling with work-life balance.”, said Dr. Soliman, on being asked about what inspired her to make the women pharmacist group. The evening she started this group, she has not the slightest idea of how many revolutions it was about to bring forth in the future. They acquired 1000 members within just a month and after 3 years.
