"Pharmacists are one of
the most accessible health care professionals and as such we need to be equipped
with the knowledge and the skills necessary to recognize and overcome barriers
to healthcare and the healthcare system. I feel the knowledge and skills I have
obtained in the MPH program have given me a more comprehensive view of the
healthcare system which has made me a better pharmacist."
