Episode 6: Changing to the Right Path and Practice (Kristine Jermakian) - a podcast by Pre Pharmacy Society at UCI

Hello PPSers! In this last episode of the quarter, we have UCSF P4 student Kristine Jermakian to share her story with us!

Kristine, who graduated from UCI in 2016, found her interest in health care during her childhood when she would follow her mother, who works in the hospital setting, during work and interact with the providers. Coming into UCI, she was unsure about her decision of which healthcare field to go to until she enrolled in a pharmaceutical sciences class taught by Dr. Sam Schriner, which led to her change of major from Chemistry to PharmSci and focusing her career path into pharmacy. During her gap year, she was able to serve in a local pharmacy, where she experienced the importance of health care at a local level and how health care policies shape the lives of many communities. With such in mind, she placed her focus on acute care practice while implementing her knowledge of policies to advance her work during her time in UCSF and for her future practice as well.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Fundraising Chair/Program Coordinator, Ryan Kwok, through email (kwokth@uci.edu). If you have any questions you would like to ask our guest, Kristine, she will be more than willing to answer them! You can contact her at kristinejermakian@gmail.com. And, similar to last quarter, it would be highly appreciated if you can fill in a quarter feedback survey to let us know what you would like to see in future episodes. Thank you for your support for the quarter, and we look forward to hearing from your feedback and improve the quality of our episodes in the future.
