Advancing health through innovation

“There’s retail, inpatient, ambulatory care, managed care, industry, compounding, specialty, the list goes on and on … If you’re able to find the crossroads where competency and passion intersect, then you will have found that dream career where you pinch yourself every morning, not believing someone is actually paying you to do what you love. And that’s why USC is one of the best pharmacy schools out there in the nation. The amount of exposure and alumni connections available to you are second to none.”

“Because of the HCDA program and its wide array of guest lecturers all coming from high-level executive positions in biotech, pharma, managed care, medical devices and diagnostics, I quickly discovered that there’s so much more I can do with a PharmD and, when coupled with the MS in HCDA, I would get to where I wanted to be fast.”

“USC has always been one of my top choices for the exciting research opportunities that take place not only in the school but across the university. I’m sincerely happy to have made the choice to pursue my degrees here and I’m proud to be a part of the Trojan Family.”

“I became interested in finding innovative ways to improve health outcomes for patients because I spent nearly a decade leading advocacy efforts in California to change pharmacy laws to improve patient access to care. I became interested in improving access to patient care, because I was looking for ways for pharmacists to create next-gen business models. The possibilities truly are endless.”

“As an international student, it was important for me to get a well-rounded experience in terms of the curriculum, faculty, research interests, prospects after graduation, culture and even the location. USC ticked all the boxes. I was lucky to have been accepted into my dream school!”

“USC has allowed me into its extensive family and Trojan network, ensuring that I’m never alone during this next chapter of my life. I loved my experience during undergrad so much that I decided to stay for another four years. In fact, I only applied to one PharmD program — USC’s, of course.”

“The Trojan Family is like an instant network of friends all over the world that you have something in common with. It’s intangible but real.”

“Being part of the Trojan Family has opened so many doors for me that I’ve lost track. Whether it’s because it brings prestige to my résumé or inspires a long conversation about football with a stranger, I am proud to be a part of the Trojan Family.”
