Personal Statement
I have chosen to teach in the pharmacy practice laboratory environment. I try to develop each student as a professional and individual through active learning. Through spending one on one time in lab with each student, I get to know them as individuals and help develop the physical skills necessary for compounding and dispensing. I also wish to effectively model professional behavior for the pharmacy student.
