Alon: Specialty pharmacy is relatively new as a niche in pharmacy. So, there’s a lot to learn in terms of how to set up a pharmacy, what contracts you need to get, and what accreditations are required.
I think navigating that was a little difficult for us. We did have some mentors. So, for anyone who is starting a specialty pharmacy now, I think one of the big pieces of advice I’d give is find a mentor, someone who’s been through this recently that can sort of help you and guide you through the process.
