One of our own, Dr. Reena Patel was recently featured in Yorba Linda Lifestyle, where she acknowledged the importance of pediatric vision care, “I enjoy seeing patients in our clinic, but my heart goes out to the children I see who have an undetected vision disorder, which may have impacted their vision development or academic performance. When I explain the clinical findings to the parents, they often say, ‘Why did I not know about this sooner?’ This is a big reason why I have become very passionate about promoting the importance of pediatric vision care.

MBKU hosted the Orange County Society of Health-System Pharmacists (OCSHP) chapter’s first Residency readiness workshop, which included presentations by Drs. Dau, Daher and Garcia around the topic of “To Residency and Beyond,” as well as mock interviews and a panel discussing “Do’s and Don’ts for Interviewing.” The event, which was open to all #PharmacyStudents in California, with students from UCSF, Loma Linda, KGI and Western in attendance, was made possible by a current P4 herself and OCSHP’s Membership Chair, Miriam Morkos!

On this #Thanksgiving Day, we are grateful for YOU! From our students, faculty, staff and our supportive community, you are an important part of MBKU. We wish you a safe and happy thanksgiving!

Ryan Funai reflected back on Fall quarter and notes, "It was the busiest and most hectic quarter I’ve had in Opto School. I’m glad to have my classmates by my side through thick and thin. Now we’re ready to see our first patients at Ketchum Health." #MBKUAmbassador #MBKUSCCO #OptometryStudent #ClinicalEducation

We always enjoy having friends from #prepharmacy, #preoptometry and #prepa clubs visit us! Here's Cal Poly Pomona's Pre-Pharmacy Society (@cpp_prepharm) during their visit a few weeks ago, "We had a great time visiting the Marshall B.Ketchum University College of Pharmacy, where we received a tour of the campus, talked to pharmacy students, and learned about their pharmacy program. Thank you #MBKU for giving us this opportunity!"

Kristy Nguyen shared her experience playing at the MBKU vs. Western Basketball Tournament, "Here’s our youngest SCCO OD team (first and second years) who call themselves, “What It Do Baby.” They performed strongly as they beat out SCCO third and fourth year OD teams to advance to the semi-finals! Although they didn’t get the W this year, you’ll find them coming back harder and on top at the next tournament!" #MBKUAmbassador #OptometryStudent #ExtracurricularFun

#MBKUAmbassador Fourth-year pharmacy student Sahar Matin checked in with us to share how life during Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (#APPE) is going so far, "The most rewarding part of my rotation is patient education! I genuinely feel that as pharmacists, we can positively affect patient care and support the safe and appropriate use of prescribed therapies. Kudos to MBKU for its competitive education and training that makes us stand out in this task." Tag us and let us know how your rotations are going! #MBKUCOP #ClinicalRotation #PharmacyStudent
