How Cory Jenks, PharmD Went From “Who Would Pay Me to Speak?” to Tens of Thousands Teaching CE
“I used to wonder who would ever pay me to teach CE… now I know exactly how to get gigs whenever I need to make money.”
Meet Cory Jenks, PharmD.
Cory had the dream job: an ambulatory care pharmacist at the VA — stable, secure, Monday through Friday, no pressure, no on-call or holiday work.
His path was set.
But he wanted more.
Cory loved teaching. He was drawn to the stage. Through one of his hobbies — improv comedy — he found a spark of joy that his traditional medical career never gave him.
He imagined a future where he spoke at events, wrote, worked remotely, and earned a meaningful side income (maybe even replacing his 9–5).
But Cory had no idea how to make that dream real.
He had never been paid to speak. He didn’t know how to write a CE proposal, pitch a topic, or find the right organizations. He watched TED talks, followed speakers on social media, and hoped for a roadmap.
That’s when he reached out.
We worked together to build his first CE pitch. Cory learned how to structure his ideas into a professional talk, submit proposals with confidence, and cold email CE planners with the exact scripts and systems I now teach inside Teach to Earn™.
The results?
Cory’s now taught across the country — earning tens of thousands of dollars as a CE speaker and educator, all on a topic he’s truly passionate about: using improv to improve healthcare communication.
He’s been published. He’s booked on podcasts. And he’s no longer chained to the 9–5.
In fact, Cory quit his full-time role and moved into part-time clinical work — so he could spend more time doing what he loves: teaching and family time.
“And the best part is… I actually love doing it.”
💬 Cory’s living proof you don’t need titles or TED Talks — just a topic and a process.

🙋♀️ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to have teaching experience to join?
Nope. You don’t need to have taught before. This program is built to help first-timers land their first paid gig — even if you’ve never stood in front of a classroom or submitted a proposal.
Q: What if I don’t know what I’d teach?
You’re not alone — that’s the most common concern. We help you uncover your best-fit topic based on your clinical experience, patient stories, and specialty knowledge. Plus, you get 10 plug-and-play CE topics you can use or tweak on Day 1.
Q: Will I have to build a big social media following?
Not at all. You don’t need followers, content, or even a public presence. This program focuses on what CE providers actually care about: your clinical experience, clear proposals, and solid communication — not your Instagram.
Q: What credentials do I need to teach CE?
You need to be a licensed healthcare professional. Technically, you don’t need a state license to do this. You do not need a PhD, academic title, or university affiliation. Your degree and experience already qualify you — we show you how to package and pitch it professionally.
Q: How fast can I land my first paid gig?
Most participants pitch their first opportunity by Week 2 and submit a real proposal by Week 3. You’ll move fast — but with support every step of the way.
Q: What kinds of gigs can I land?
You can get booked to teach live CE sessions, write CE monographs or articles, or guest-speak at virtual CE events. Typical payment ranges from $300–$750 per session for new speakers, with room to grow.
Q: Will this help with medical writing too?
Yes! CE writing (monographs, courses, and outlines) is one of the key income streams we cover. You’ll learn how to get published and paid for what you know — even if you’ve never written outside of charts or notes.
Q: What’s the time commitment each week?
Plan for 2–3 hours a week, including the live (or recorded) sessions, assignments, and pitching. This is a focused implementation sprint, and everything is designed to be plug-and-play.
Q: What if I can’t attend live?
No problem. Every session is recorded and added to your resource portal so you can review it on your schedule.
Q: What if I don’t land a paid gig?
We’ve got you. If you complete the program and don’t land your first paid CE engagement within 90 days, you’ll get a free 1:1 strategy call with me (Alex Barker, PharmD) to troubleshoot your pitch and get back on track.
Q: How long do I have access to the materials?
60 Days. We want people to get results from this program. We want action takers. So when you join, you can expect to get paid opportunities.
Q: What if I have a question that’s not listed here?
Shoot me a message at alex@thehappypharmd.com and I’ll get back to you personally. If you’re not sure if this is the right fit — I’ll tell you honestly.
