January is National Mentor Month! We are grateful for the many mentors who offer ​​ongoing personal, professional, academic, and/or career support for students.

Duc Pham, a fourth-year PharmD student, offers this about mentor Sheila Brastad, director of data sciences at Optum.

"My mentor and I discussed various career pathways, emphasizing that each comes with its own challenges and benefits. They reassured me that while transitioning between careers may be more difficult in certain fields, it is always possible. This perspective alleviated the pressure and stress of deciding my post-graduation path and motivated me by showing that I could gain valuable experience in any role, whether I chose to stay or pivot to another. I felt truly supported throughout this process. After my conversation with my mentor, I feel excited and eager to see where I’ll be a month from now."

Thank you, Sheila!

January is for the mentors! During this national month of recognition, we celebrate the mentors who help students navigate their journeys.

Jimmy Morales, a fourth-year PharmD student offers this about his mentor Hannah Bui, Hematology/Oncology Clinical Pharmacist at M Health Fairview’s Masonic Cancer Clinic:

"My mentor Hannah has been tremendously helpful at giving me encouragement ... [She] was very impactful in my journey in applying for residency programs. I cannot thank her enough and hope that everyone has the opportunity to have mentors that truly care for the wellbeing of students like myself. As a [first] generation student, it's mentors like her that I owe an unpayable debt to for the support they give, and I hope that I can pass that on in the future to the next student/learner."

Thank you, Hannah!

Third-year PharmD student Frances Abanonu knew at age 11 that she wanted to be a pharmacist. Her early career ambitions stemmed from her father, who was chronically ill and passed away when she was very young. She told herself then that she would grow up to manufacture drugs that would keep others alive. Now, both a mother and a full-time PharmD student, her plate is full, but she’s determined to succeed and inspire other student mothers.

“Sometimes as a child, you make these proclamations without too much thought. But I think the universe has a way of bringing them to fruition, which is why I’m a firm believer in positive affirmations, even if they aren’t happening yet,” she shared. “I will always pay it forward. Growing up, I wanted to inspire young girls. Now, I feel called to inspire moms like me.”

Mapping pharmacy deserts across Minnesota 12/27/2024

In partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health, the College of Pharmacy developed a map of pharmacy access gaps across the state to consolidate important data amid a national trend of pharmacy closures.

“This isn't just a pharmacy need, this is a state need,” Dr. Todd Sorensen said. “The evidence of this is that the Department of Health has declared health equity as one of its top priorities— and patient access to pharmacy services is a health equity issue.”
