"My time in pharmacy school was challenging. The expectations were high, and the curriculum was robust. One of the most impactful aspects of this excellence-driven program was mentorship. The value of having numerous professors and staff committed to each individual students' experience, progress, and future is hard to quantify. It was the mentorship that I experienced that allowed me to withstand the challenges of the program and life. The people-focused nature of the program allowed me to gain confidence in my clinical knowledge, pursue opportunities that were outside of my comfort zone, and solidify a path forward that aligned with my career goals. Those trustworthy mentors equipped me with the tools necessary to be a successful pharmacist."
— Drew Wells ('16 & '20), Clinical Pharmacy Specialist: Internal Medicine, Methodist University Hospital
"Going to Pharmacy school at Union is unique in that class sizes are small so you know you will be known and supported. During my time in the classroom and on rotations, I became equipped to enter the workforce with confidence. I was constantly encouraged and supported by my professors. I'm proud and thankful to be an alumnus of the Union University College of Pharmacy."
— Carson Cook ('23), PharmD, PGY1 Pharmacy Resident, Erlanger Health System
"I chose Union specifically for the Pharmacy Early Admissions Program (PEAP) to streamline my admission into the Pharmacy Program at Union. I found the 2-year PEAP to be quite challenging. I felt it truly prepared me for my classes in pharmacy school and made the transition from undergraduate to graduate school that much easier. Now that I am a practicing pharmacist, I can confidently say that receiving my education at UU helped me to be successful in starting my career."
— Maria Calvert ('23), Pharmacist, Huntsville Hospital
"UUCOP prepared me for every day duties in the healthcare environment. Working in healthcare is a serious privilege not to be taken lightly. As students, we were encouraged
to communicate the knowledge we learned to others in a professional way and tailor our responses based on who we were talking to. Being able to speak to other healthcare
professionals at a higher level all the way down to patients who have less knowledge of medications is important. From a knowledge and preparedness standpoint, I did
rotations with many students from many different programs and I always felt more prepared clinically than them, despite my grades in the classroom being average.
I think that is a testimony to the structure of the program at UUCOP that has carried past graduation into my daily work life."
