Derek Garcia

My favorite professors have been Dr. Wincor and Dr. Alkana. They are the course coordinators and lecturers for our CNS therapeutics module and it was the most well organized and informative class that I have taken at any level of my education.

Dr. Wincor is one of my favorite professors at USC. He loves to talk to his students, and you can drop by his office to chat with him about anything! He's also an awesome organizational advisor as well as an amazing course coordinator.

I really like Dr. Durham. She’s approachable and realistic. She understands what students are going through and tries to work with us, and is also very responsive and has a good sense of humor.

Dr. Johnson, constantly creates innovative population-focused pharmacy practice like the USC Neighborhood Outreach Project. Her creativity inspires me to be a pharmacist who thinks outside of the box.
