I’m Joe, a retail pharmacist who got tired of feeling stuck on the treadmill. I studied for and earned my BCACP because I wanted options—and I still found myself behind the counter. AmCare RPh Masterminds is my way out and a place for anyone like me to build real exit velocity into consulting for independent family practice/primary care clinics. We’re here to learn, execute, and share what works (and what doesn’t) in public. What this is: - A build-in-public log of my journey from retail to running a family-practice-focused ambulatory care consulting business. - A peer group for BCACP/ambulatory-minded pharmacists who want to design and implement clinic services (CCM, TCM, AWV, med optimization). - A place to trade templates, scripts, compliance checklists, and outreach tactics—and pressure-test each other’s ideas. What this is not: - Not a pity party, not pharmacy-Twitter, and not guru-land. No venting without a concrete plan attached. - Not legal, billing, or medical advice. We will respect HIPAA, our employers, our patients, and the law. The mission: Create optionality. Replace “I can’t leave retail” with a simple operating plan: build skills, build assets, build a pipeline to local family practices. Do the reps until the math works.
