Pharmacist Katrina Azer

Hi Pharmacists!

I'm Katrina,

So glad you're here.Over the last decade, I’ve been innovating, educating, and creating resources to help pharmacists like you embrace precision medicine, build purpose-driven careers, and transform patient care for a brighter future.

Welcome Friend!

I’m Katrina Azer—pharmacist, board member, writer, podcaster, and Founder of the Australasian Precision Medicine Academy. But, my journey here hasn’t been a straight line.Not long ago, I felt stuck—lacking the clarity and confidence to grow the pharmacy career I dreamed of. Every step forward felt like two steps back. But after many lessons, failed attempts, and lots of reflection, I built a career that brings me freedom, fulfillment, and the chance to help others do the same.Now, I’m on a mission to help pharmacists break free from the status quo and discover what’s possible. Through precision medicine, education, and mindset shifts, I’ve seen lives and careers transform—and yours can too.These core values shape how I lead, create, and inspire every step of the way:

Connection with nature...

When I’m not working with incredible pharmacists, teaching, writing, hosting my podcast, or in a board meeting, you’ll find me reading a good book, exercising, cooking up a storm, or trying my best to keep my plants alive (wish me luck on that one!).
I also love travelling, hiking, adventuring, and photography.

"Exploring new places and cultures inspires me in both life and work."
