Well, CDR JoAnn Roseman did just that.
Most pharmacists land their first job close to home.
However, upon graduating from the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy, CDR Roseman uprooted and moved to Frankfurt, West Germany. There she began her career as a Regulatory and Information Officer with Hoechst A.G Pharmaceuticals. In addition, this pharmacist earned a M.S. degree in Business Administration at Boston University in Heidelberg, West Germany. Upon her return to the United States, CDR Roseman joined Baxter Healthcare Corporation in Deerfield, Illinois, where she held several sales and marketing management positions. As an International Product Manager for Drug Delivery Systems, this officer evaluated newly developed drug delivery systems.
