One of my goals in 2024 is to read 24 books.
I like to mix in personal and professional reads to keep it interesting. Realizing we’re already 1/3 of the way through the year, I decided to do a check-in on my goal.
Turns out I need some accountability!
So far I’ve read:
1. Unreasonable Hospitality, Will Guidara
2. Shoe Dog, Phil Knight
3. Measure What Matters, John Doerr (since my word for the year is measure)
4. The Teacher, Freida McFadden (book club pick)
I’m currently reading:
5. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou (book club pick)
6. Zucked, Roger McNamee
Up next:
7. When Breath Becomes Air, Paul Kalanithi
8. The Covenant of Water, Abraham Verghese (author of Cutting for Stone – possibly my all-time favorite book!)
9. The Measure, Nikki Erlick (recommended by a reader since my word of the year is measure)
10. Within Reason, Sandro Galea
11. The Women, Kristin Hannah
12. Why Simple Wins, Lisa Bodell
This only gets me halfway there so I would love some recommendations! What are your favorite books or all time? Or your newest favorite read? Would you be interested in a virtual book club? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
As always, have a great week and keep learning!

1. Pass the NAPLEX® Success! ✔️💪🔥
As we near graduation, pharmacy schools asked for support to prepare their students for the NAPLEX… And, we delivered results!
Over the past month, we provided two Pass the NAPLEX virtual sessions and a 2-day Workshop that included MPJE prep. Of all the great feedback, the highest ratings included: ”helped me identify and use effective study strategies”, “improved my confidence to effectively prepare for the NAPLEX”, and “helped me identify my strengths and areas for further study”.
One student said, “I learned what my strengths are and what more I need to study with drug therapy. And while I know the laws better than I thought, I need to think in simple terms rather than “what ifs” in order to pass.”
If you want to learn about NAPLEX and MPJE support for your students, contact us!
2. Do you have a plan for your CE?
I just got a reminder that my pharmacist license (aka required CE) is due July 1st. As a lifelong learner I take nearly every course we create, but I don’t often go through and get the CE credit. So yes, even a CE provider needs to make sure she has enough CE! 😊
Do you have a plan for your CE this year? Your CE plan should be our CE Plan!
With a CEimpact CE Plan, you have access to everything you could possibly need or want when it comes to CE.
We keep you current with weekly podcasts, monthly live CE discussions, in-depth case review studies, advanced trainings, and education courses on everything you need to design your best pharmacy career.
3. Podcast Alert!
This week I talked with my sister, Sarah Powell, MD, Ear, Nose, and Throat Consultants, about vertigo.
Here are some highlights:
- Nearly 40% of people will experience vertigo in their lifetime
- There are three causes of vertigo
- A few simple questions can help patients manage vertigo or determine which care provider to see
- Meclizine may or may not be helpful
- There are preventive supplements for vestibular migraine
