CaryRx is a pharmacy based in Northwest that wants to help patients do away with traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacies by providing an easy option to receive their medications in a timely manner, safely, at home.

Why are patients moving from CVS or Walgreens to CaryRx? Simple, CaryRx has created a mobile app that makes the pharmacy experience easy and modern, not to mention they pride themselves on top notch customer service which has received rave reviews.

Since beginning its same-day delivery service in 2017, CaryRx has proven that its business model is viable: Patients can order prescriptions through the CaryRx mobile app to have orders delivered — for free — on the same day, or within the hour, to locations throughout Washington, D.C.; free same-day delivery is also available for Northern Virginia and areas of Maryland that are within 40 miles of the District. Given visiting retail locations isn’t what it once was with COVID-19 and the average wait time in a pharmacy being 45 minutes, free same-day home delivery is a long-awaited and welcome alternative to the large pharmacy chains.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact every aspect of modern-day life, from the way consumers buy their groceries to how employees connect to corporate systems. Learning is no exception.

Since the outbreak, online learning has become more central to people’s lives. And many plan to continue the trend: More than half of American adults who expect to need more education or training post-pandemic say they would do it online, according to an August 2020 survey by the Strada Education Network.

Yet not all online education is created equal — and IT pros looking to invest in a program should compare and contrast options carefully.

Whether pursuing a full-time master’s degree to deepen IT expertise or seeking a certificate to boost content knowledge in a specific area, there are many reasons why Virginia Tech’s 100% online Master of Information Technology program (VT-MIT) is a superior choice for IT leaders.

The U.S. News & World Report’s Best Online Programs report ranks Virginia Tech’s MIT degree the nation’s fourth best. The program blends coursework and offers twelve areas of specialized study for a diverse education.

As the COVID-19 pandemic extends, many professionals are taking this time to prepare for the future by investing in graduate education. And there might not be a better time to do so.

Whether it’s the increased flexibility in classroom formats, frozen tuition rates, relaxed admission requirements, or reduced interest rates on student loans, there are plenty of reasons why students feel like this time period is a unique opportunity for them to build the skills and professional network they need to advance their career.

While fall classes have already started, there are still options for individuals who want to take advantage of graduate study opportunities before next year’s back-to-school season. Virginia Tech’s local Evening MBA program offers a spring entry term with classes starting January 19.
