About Us

Shadowing Dr. Susie Park in her depression clinic at LA County Hospital. She is amazing in what she does and by shadowing her, I got to see and apply the drugs I learned in class to real life patients, practice patient interaction skills, and help to write SOAP notes.
Jasmine Chung
PharmD Student

The best experience I had was 12 weeks working for Amgen in the Summer of 2010.
Jonathan Jazayeri
PharmD Student

My favorite clinical experience is most definitely the IV rotation. I was not only able to learn through lecture material, but through hands on experience. Through this class, I was able to apply the knowledge that I learned about IVs.
Anne Bui
PharmD Student

My understanding of the scope of pharmacy practice deepens with my time spent with the local ambulatory-care pharmacist Dr. Cecelia Wu who manages her patients’ medication regimen in both English and Spanish.
Terrance Yu
PharmD Student

My favorite clinical class has been my I.V. rotation. I had the opportunity to get the hands-on experience of making I.V. bags for patients at the LAC-USC hospital. It was a very challenging and fun rotation.
Cathy Tung
PharmD Student

My favorite clinical experience has been antibiotic dosing as an intern at West Hill Medical Center. It gives me an opportunity to practice and hone the skills that I have learned in class.
Emmanuel Akinwole
PharmD Student

My favorite class was the Year 2 Parenteral Therapy Externship - IV rotation. I loved the hands-on learning experience and studying disease states of real patients.
Angela Lee
PharmD Student

My favorite class so far has been Pharmacy Practice (PHRD 509) because it taught us how to counsel patients on different disease states like diabetes and hypertension. It really helped me learn how to talk to patients and ask them the right questions in order to better evaluate their illness.
