Why did you choose to get your PharmD Degree?
Throughout my high school and college career, I developed a fascination for learning about the science and physiology of the human body. I felt empowered to utilize this fascination to positively impact individuals’ health and wellbeing. As I learned more about the duties of a pharmacist, it became evident that a career in pharmacy allows for this fascination to directly become a career fueled by passion. A career in pharmacy grants me the opportunity to be a care-provider, educator, and continuous learner all in one.

Pharmacy school is heavily influenced by the people you surround yourself with. Do not try to push through it alone. build strong friendships with your classmates. These relationships make studying more effective and the content far less intimidating when tackled together as a team.
