Show More
At the University of the Pacific, I intend to be in the 2+3 Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Program. I love the idea of being able to jump into the world of Pharmacy just 5 years after graduating high school. There is a need for pharmacists that can integrate a wide knowledge base into patient care. Pharmacy today revolves around maximizing compliance and selecting the most appropriate medications based on patient health, side effect profiles, genetics, financial resources, and other clinical factors.

I am well equipped for the ever-changing climate of the pharmacy world. For one, I have volunteered at multiple Medicare Part D health fairs and outreach events. At the events, pharmacy students and pharmacists immunize, perform health screenings

    Dr Wes Palkington Reflection

    I recently had the chance to listen to an entertaining lecture by Dr. Wes Pilkington. As he began talking, I could tell that his speech was going to be somewhat different than those I had heard before him. While he did not do a residency and was not extensively involved in leaderships roles like many of our other speakers, he has still found success after graduation. Although these activities are both important, he highlighted the significance of our rotations. He also offered us a unique perspective on the dangers of pharmacy, as he was the victim of a pharmacy robbery.…
