Career Formula
"My first introduction to seeing somebody being helped by medications was at a very early age. I helped my grandmother with her medications, memorizing everything she used to take. I'm the first one in my family to go into health care, and I'm influenced by seeing how I could help my family understand medications, especially as they get older."
- RONALD WATEMA-LORD, 3RD YEAR PHARMD
