Gene Handza - Captain: I'm a Pharmacist. My Reserve unit is the 352nd Combat Support Hospital out of Fresno, California.

I chose the Reserves because it was a better fit for my lifestyle. It gave me the flexibility of not only working at a full-time job that I love, but also being able to serve my country as a Soldier. I think that the Army Reserves has greatly enhanced my clinical pharmacy skills and my leadership and management abilities so that I'm able to not only learn these, but apply them not only in my civilian job, but also when I put on the uniform and do my duty.

For instance, pharmacists might be able to participate and have prescribing privileges in such clinics as hematology, oncology, pain assessment, HIV, clinical rounding with physicians, primary care, specialty care, pulmonology, and the list goes on and on for what pharmacists are capable of providing in terms of Health Care.
