Applying the practical information taught in the classroom aids in the retention of knowledge and contributes to the goal of optimal patient care. I endeavor to provide pharmacy students the opportunity to explore many areas of pharmacy practice and inspire a commitment of lifelong learning to benefit our patients and our communities.
