Professional Development
My time as Senior Program Coordinator of the Organizational Office of Diversity and Inclusion at University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy, was a life changing experience. In this role, I founded, co-founded, and facilitated numerous programs and events geared toward professional enhancement, leadership, and DEIB recruitment and retention. I left the position to pursue my clinical residency training, and it wasn’t long before I missed helping others accomplish their career goals in healthcare as well! In late 2022, I co-founded a professional development consultant company, Forward Consulting Services. Scroll down to learn more!
Forward Consulting Services
Forward Consulting Services (FCS) was co-founded by Dominique Cossari and Brittany Manning, both of which are graduate-level trained professionals in the healthcare industry. FCS was established to close the gap of inequitable access to professional development resources and training within the healthcare system.
