This year, Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP) welcomed a diverse group of students to the school as part of the Class of 2022. The future pharmacists came to TCOP from a variety of places, with distant homelands like Iran and Myanmar to the not-so-distant Bronx and Brooklyn. Now that they’ve had some time to settle in, finished their first set of exams (phew!), and donned their white coats, we caught up with eight members of the new class to hear why they chose the pharmaceutical profession and what attracted them to TCOP. Despite their different origins, all eight shared the same drive to become pharmacists and make the world a better and safer place.
