Dr Esa Chen MPS is starting important conversations

Dr Esa Chen doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations. From diversity and inclusion to gender equity and climate change, she is using her voice to improve the pharmacy profession. 

Growing up as a Chinese-Malaysian-Australian in country New South Wales, Esa struggled to find people who looked like her. But moving to Melbourne to study pharmacy, and then spending 5 months in Hong Kong as part of her PhD research, made her realise just how much representation matters. 

In this episode of Pharmacy and Me, Esa speaks with hosts Peter Guthrey and Hannah Knowles about finding her voice, creating change and her best advice for other early career pharmacists who want to tackle the big issues.
