Both her studies and active involvement in university life helped her to gain a foothold in the pharmaceutical world and to accumulate a broad range of professional experience. After working for several years in some of Lithuania\u2019s largest companies, she is now taking her first steps towards launching her own business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Studies Opened the Doors to Major Lithuanian Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pharmacist Justina Krukonyt\u0117 recalls that even at school, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in the field of biomedicine. After much consideration, she eventually chose to study Pharmacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t have a precise 10-year career plan, but I explored various fields of health sciences. I ultimately chose Pharmacy because I had relatives who had studied it and they told me how broad the field is. That meant I\u2019d have plenty of career options after graduation \u2013 and that\u2019s what really motivated me. I\u2019m also naturally altruistic; I\u2019ve always wanted to help people and do meaningful work. If I could go back in time, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate \u2013 I\u2019d make my decision with even more conviction, because now I know just how many opportunities this degree opens up,\u201d she says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Justina-Krukonyte-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Justina Krukonyt\u0117\" class=\"wp-image-111149\" style=\"width:330px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Justina-Krukonyte-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Justina-Krukonyte-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Justina-Krukonyte.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Justina-Krukonyte-200x300@2x.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Justina Krukonyt\u0117<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, her studies opened many doors \u2013 she started working in her field even before completing her degree. Her active involvement in various student organisations also played a key role in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a student, she joined the Lithuanian Pharmaceutical Students&#8217; Association and the LSMU Student Union, where she made many connections. These networks led to early job opportunities. Justina was employed by a wholesale pharmaceutical company that operates several pharmacy chains \u2013 initially on a short-term basis, then transitioning into a permanent role. She continued working while completing her degree in Pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200b\u200b After graduation, she decided to broaden her professional knowledge and gain more diverse experience, moving on to a much smaller Swedish-owned company. The two years she spent there gave her valuable insights into how the pharmaceutical industry operates. Though the field of Pharmacy may seem well-defined and structured, it can certainly present significant challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She later joined one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Lithuania, where she worked as Head of Pharmaceutical Operations, overseeing pharmaceutical activity, as well as wholesale and retail trade. This period was marked by professional challenges and major projects. One of the most memorable involved navigating the frequent regulatory changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Requirements would change every few days, requiring swift responses, adaptability, and the seamless integration of changes across the pharmacy network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another major milestone was her involvement in the launch of a new distribution centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the initial construction stages to the centre becoming operational, I was actively involved in every part of the process. My main objective was to ensure that the centre\u2019s operations complied with all applicable national and international regulations, pharmaceutical standards, and client requirements,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Launching an Unexplored Niche in Lithuania<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These career experiences equipped Justina with a wide range of skills and helped her grow as a professional. Eventually, she felt ready for a new challenge \u2013 to start working independently. She is now developing a niche business in Lithuania that remains relatively underexplored: medical tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Farmacija-studijos-LSMU-1024x734.jpg\" alt=\"Farmacija studijos LSMU\" class=\"wp-image-111146\" style=\"width:539px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farmacija-studijos-LSMU-1024x734.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farmacija-studijos-LSMU-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farmacija-studijos-LSMU.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Farmacija-studijos-LSMU-300x215@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m taking my first steps into an independent venture that combines medicine, pharmacy, and information technology. Medical tourism offers a wide variety of services across Europe. For instance, a patient who is unable to access services in their own country \u2013 whether due to quality, cost, or availability of specialists \u2013 can access them abroad,\u201c \u2013 she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example, Justina mentions Europeans \u2013 including Lithuanians \u2013 travelling to Turkey for the increasingly popular hair transplant procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Patient Always Comes First<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justina is convinced that Pharmacy truly offers a wealth of opportunities \u2013 from working in various pharmaceutical companies to establishing your own business. Her career path proves that Pharmacy can provide both knowledge and the chance to explore different parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNowadays, my daily routine is much more flexible than it used to be. I worked in an office with a fixed schedule for a long time \u2013 now I manage my own time. But that doesn\u2019t mean complete freedom \u2013 self-discipline is essential, especially over the past six months, as I\u2019ve been travelling quite a bit around Europe,\u201d \u2013 she reveals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter where her career takes her, one thing remains constant: her focus on the person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn Pharmacy, just like in medicine, everything ultimately comes down to a single goal \u2013 the satisfaction of the patient. It\u2019s important to me that what I do helps people. Every decision, every project, every direction I take must align with that core principle \u2013 the wellbeing of the patient,\u201d she emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artificial Intelligence in Study Programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Justina also decided to return to academia and began a PhD in Pharmacy at LSMU. Coming back to university after some time away, she noticed many changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a university that respects tradition but also embraces innovation in the biomedical and medical sciences. The programmes are continuously improved and updated. I noticed straight away that the curriculum had been refreshed and integrated \u2013 and that even artificial intelligence tools are now being used. For example, one of our tasks involves simulation exercises where various practical situations are generated. AI acts as the patient. In the past, we used to role-play those scenarios among ourselves \u2013 one person would pretend to be the patient, the other a healthcare professional. Now the simulations are much more engaging, and AI allows us to examine many more nuanced situations,\u201d \u2013 she observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on her Master\u2019s studies, she is grateful for the knowledge gained and the social connections formed \u2013 from fellow students to pharmacists from other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAlthough my former classmates and I have drifted apart as we work in different places \u2013 both in Lithuania and abroad \u2013 we\u2019ve maintained our contacts, which is so important. Taking part in various university organisations also gave me access to a range of projects \u2013 even international ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most memorable experiences was a trip to Ankara, Turkey, for a project with Pharmacy students from four different countries. We\u2019ve kept in touch \u2013 in fact, we recently met again in Istanbul,\u201d \u2013 she shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on her own experience, she firmly believes that LSMU can provide a solid foundation for any young person interested in studying Pharmacy \u2013 all it takes is courage and curiosity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, and stay curious. If you feel that this field speaks to you \u2013 go for it. There will be challenging moments, but they\u2019ll pass. Even if you lack support at times \u2013 it\u2019s out there, and you just need to know how to seek it out and express your desire to grow, learn, and explore. Every day is different, but if you have a clear goal \u2013 you\u2019ll go further than you ever imagined,\u201d \u2013 says pharmacist Justina Krukonyt\u0117 with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More about this study programme <a href=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/en\/admission\/integrated-studies\/pharmacy\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago, Justina Krukonyt\u0117 graduated with a degree in Pharmacy from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU).
