When asked why she pursued an education in pharmacy, alumna Jessie S. had a very poetic answer: 鈥淚 wanted to be the link between the pain and the healing.鈥�

Jessie had always known she wanted to go into the medical field in order to help people. Becoming a pharmacist gave her the tools to do that.

She describes her education at WCU鈥檚 School of Pharmacy as being very hands-on.

鈥淚 especially enjoyed the patient case simulation experiences. It allowed us to have very hands-on, practical experience in real-life clinical settings鈥� Those simulation centers also really gave us a sense of understanding where pharmacists fit in the healthcare field.鈥�

Another aspect that Jessie loved about her WCU education in the PharmD program was the accessibility of the professors. 鈥淲e had a lot of one-on-one interactions with them. Their office doors were always open,鈥� she said.
