Megan Seddon @meganismofaction.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I used to be terrified of teaching. I remember having what bordered on an argument with my undergrad advisor, to the tune of, “You're kidding, I could NEVER be a teacher.” 😱 Yet (poetic justice?) precepting pharmacy learners is now a thing that feels most fulfilling -& sometimes even energizing. 1/3 110
