2011 Graduate Describes Her Transformative Experience at MSOP

Friends:

The inspiration for today's post comes from Rachel Long, PharmD. Rachel just graduated from our program on May 13, 2011 and we thought we'd share with you her thoughts on her experience here at MSOP.

In an email Rachel wrote:

"I was actually accepted into 4 other schools along with Samford. Samford was the last school to accept me, but I remained determined to attend MSOP. Most of my family was on pins and needles, but I knew MSOP was the right choice for me.

At MSOP it's all about making a difference in patient's lives. It's not about preparing you for a career to make money, its about preparing you to become a leader and a changer in the field of pharmacy. MSOP also provides that close knit family atmosphere. When just one student struggles or suffers, the whole school does with him or her. The professors and other faculty push every student to achieve higher standards in the profession and though I may have disagreed with some, I never lost respect or admiration for any.

MSOP provides well rounded training in pharmacy practice and creates pharmacists who care. I am blessed for my time spent here, and hope to represent the school well as I progress through my career.

Sincerely,
Rachel Long"

Let us hear how your time at MSOP has transformed your life and the lives of patients you serve!
