Imagine Your Future Here
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: I guess when people think of pharmacy, they always think of their retail pharmacist at your local community. So they always think we're just there to fill their prescription. Just count the pill, put them in, give them a 30-day supply. But of course, we are more than that.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: I did not know about how many different fields the career of pharmacy had until I came to Touro College of Pharmacy.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: You could specialize in infectious disease.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: You could specialize in ambulatory care. Then we have the retail track, you know, Walgreens, Duane Reade.
P2 AVIVA RAKHAMIMOVA: You can become anything from a nuclear pharmacist to a veterinary pharmacist.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: You could even work in advertising.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: In hospitals, you could be a staff pharmacist.
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: But right now, I see myself more in the pharmaceutical industry role.
P4 VIVIANA ARCE: Touro is preparing me--
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: Touro prepared me--
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: Touro prepared me--
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: Touro has prepared me to be an essential part of any health care team.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: We get a more intimate classroom setting where the professors actually know your name.
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: Almost every professor I knew had an open door policy.
P4 VIVIANA ARCE: Professors here are experts in their field. You get infectious disease pharmacists teaching you infectious disease. You get cardiology specialists teaching you cardiology pharmacy.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: They were there for you throughout the whole process. They guided you from really not knowing anything about pharmacy to eventually becoming the professional you're about to be.
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: They offer more real-life experience as opposed to most other pharmacy schools. During my ambulatory care rotations, I have been able to work with the HIV clinic.
P4 VIVIANA ARCE: I did medication therapy management.
P2 AVIVA RAKHAMIMOVA: My first rotation was in retail pharmacy.
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: I've worked with a clinical microbiology, and I've also done a research in public health.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: Ambulatory care, internal medicine, acute care, IV, all of these rotations are experiences to make you better. And during this rotation is for you to figure out which field of pharmacy you thrive in and is ideal for you. Pharmacists are really the front line in health care.
P4 VIVIANA ARCE: I want to be on the front lines of health care. I want to directly have an impact on patient's life.
P4 MIR MAHMOOD: But you're that reference that patients can have access to.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: Getting my patients to live their happier life or better life, that would be the most rewarding part of being a pharmacist.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: Touro is a small campus, but it's like a small campus that is doing amazing and bigger things.
P4 VIVIANA ARCE: It's not people trying to get ahead of each other.
P4 LENDELLE RAYMOND: It feels like a family being here.
P4 JUSTICE KWANZA: Touro was the best choice for me.

#congrats to Touro College of Pharmacy Assistant Dean of Clinical and Professional Affairs, Associate Professor and interim chair of Pharmacy Practice, Michael Liu, on being awarded the Presidential Faculty Award for Exemplary Service to Touro University. President Alan Kadish shared “The entire University is appreciative to you for spearheading a team of faculty, staff and students to provide critically needed service and support throughout the pandemic from testing to vaccination. At a time when others were fearful and distant, you jumped right in on the frontlines, traveling from Touro location to Touro location to ensure that our campus community was protected as best as possible. Therefore, I have created this special award in recognition of your extraordinary and exemplary service.” Michael Liu shared with us 'I would like to thank our leadership, faculty, and staff at Touro College of Pharmacy, and the leadership at Touro College & University System for providing the support needed in order to serve the New York metropolis with public health services throughout the pandemic. This award demonstrates the spirit of commitment and servitude during times of needs, and I am thankful of being a recipient of the award this year. As former US President John F. Kennedy said during his inaugural address: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”. #pharmacyheroes #pharmacylife #pharmacistsprovidecare #pharmacy #pharmacyschool #pharmacyeducation #leadership #crushingandscreening #covid19response #surveillance #vaccineswork #vaccination #vaccine #pharm4me #indispensable #publichealth
