Episode 5: Building the UCI Future in Pharmacy (Megan Nguyen) - a podcast by Pre Pharmacy Society at UCI

Hello PPSers! Hope y’all have a great break and get ready for the Winter quarter! In this episode, we feature Dr. Megan Nguyen, the Founding Associate Dean of Pharmacy Student Affairs at UCI SPPS, to share her story of pharmacy and the journey in establishing UCI’s pharmacy school.

Dr. Nguyen, who graduated from UCI in 1995, found her interest in pharmacy when she volunteered at a local community hospital pharmacy. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences at UCI, she became part of the inaugural class at Western University School of Pharmacy. After her residency years focusing on academia and infectious disease, she remained at WesternU as a faculty until July 2020, when she joined the team at UCI to establish the new School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. After the remarkable experience working with the first inaugural class of PharmD candidates at UCI, Dr. Nguyen is looking forward to continuing to work with future classes and establishing brilliance in the field of pharmacy at UCI.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our External Vice President, Ryan Kwok, through email (kwokth@uci.edu). See you all after winter break!
