Heart At Work: Former intern mentors the next generation of pharmacists

Alex McDonald started her career as a CVS Pharmacy intern — now she’s leading the way for future pharmacists.

As a District Leader in Boston, Alex oversees our pharmacy internship program, supporting more than 60 students each year as they gain hands-on experience and grow into confident health care professionals.

Get to know past and current interns like:

Janki Patel, a recipient of our PharmD Tuition Assistance Program, which offers up to $40,000 toward pharmacy school.
Zilong Yuan, a former intern who is now Pharmacy Manager at our busy Chinatown location, where he and his multilingual team are making care more accessible for the local community.

Alex’s story is a powerful example of how mentorship and opportunity can launch meaningful careers in pharmacy. Thank you, Alex, for paying it forward and helping shape the future of care — one intern at a time. ❤️
