In celebration of Pharmacy Week, the CSHP Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee partnered with Junior Achievement USA and the UCONN School of Pharmacy to inspire the next generation of pharmacy professionals. On October 17, Dr. Nathaniel Rickles and Dr. Vera Malkhasyan visited Ansonia High School, delivering an interactive presentation to students exploring pharmacy as a career.
The event, designed to spark curiosity and highlight the diverse opportunities within pharmacy, resonated deeply with the students. Dr. Rickles shared his personal journey, offering insights into the profession, while Vera Malkhasyan reflected on the rewarding experience: "It was incredible to see students transition from quietly listening to asking thoughtful questions about pharmacy school and the challenges we face in our work. Moments like these remind us of the impact we can have by sharing our passion for the profession."
We’re excited to keep this momentum going with the CSHP DEI Committee and Junior Achievement, visiting more high schools across Connecticut. If you’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals, we’d love to have you join us! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
