the Admissions Team HELEN PARK, PHARMD, BA Assistant Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice Roseman University Alumna – PharmD Class of 2011 Lover of family time, CrossFitting, hiking and running The profession of pharmacy was not Dr. Park’s first career. She likes to say that she took the “scenic route” in finding her professional calling. Prior to her career in pharmacy, she worked in the aerospace industry. She discovered and fell in love with pharmacy through her sister who would tell heartfelt stories about her work as a pharmacist, and how lucky she was to make a positive difference in the lives of her patients. Since then, Dr. Park has dedicated her career in pharmacy to serving patients as well as educating and mentoring future pharmacists. Dr. Park also has a passion for working with minority student groups to help increase representation and quality in healthcare for underserved communities. Why Roseman? “Roseman means COMMUNITY!” What I appreciate the most about Roseman is our campus community. We would not be who we are if not for the exceptional students, faculty, staff and alumni. Additionally, as an alumna, I have a very special place in my heart for Roseman University’s PharmD program. Roseman has transformed my life by preparing me to be a highly competent, caring pharmacist, which has enabled me to make a positive difference in my community.

And yes, he has a cat stroller North Carolina native, Dr. Christensen-Grant spent part of pharmacy school in the United Kingdom and completed two pharmacy residencies in Indiana and Texas. He chose pharmacy because he wanted a career that both challenged him and gave him the ability to work with people directly. During pharmacy school, he knew that he wanted to become a clinical faculty member because he had a passion for mentoring others to discover and pursue their goals. He now teaches Drug Information and Nephrology & Gastroenterology Pharmacotherapy. He advises student organizations and works with Roseman’s state pharmacy organizations to advance the profession of pharmacy. This has been his path in pharmacy, and he cannot wait to help prospective students discover their paths. Why Roseman? “Roseman means FAMILY!” The people. The students. The faculty. The staff. We are all a part of this community that supports, mentors, and celebrates one another. As a faculty member, this culture lets me really connect with students and help guide them on their journey toward becoming an excellent pharmacist. LISA NGO STONE, BS Admissions Specialist Halloween baby and devoted to family, fur babies, friends and faith First-generation graduate from UNLV, Ms. Lisa Ngo Stone earned her Bachelor’s in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Growing up she did not know much about pharmacy, but she obtained a job as a pharmacy technician. Fast forward 13 years – this profession made her realize pharmacy is exactly where she wanted to be and the impact that she wanted to make. She likes to say she did not initially choose pharmacy, but pharmacy chose her. She loves to help students, all ages, traditional and non-traditional, explore their career options in the profession of Pharmacy. She enjoys knowing that through her role at Roseman she’s helping to shape the future generations of the pharmacy profession. Why Roseman? “Roseman means COLLABORATION!” The people.

INSIDE THE
Student Perspectives of the Roseman S
SAVANNAH FLORES PharmD Class of 2022 “I appreciate the layout of the classroom set-up and feel that I can personally benefit from being in the presence of each professor.”
NATHAN HEGER PharmD Class of 2022 “I enjoy the fact that we start our rotations early on in our education. We become more confident in our ability to counsel patients as we learn about the medications.”
BRITTANY HARNICHER PharmD Class of 2021 “This continuous cycle of learning and addressing areas of weakness has cultivated skills that I have found useful for succeeding in both the classroom and in practice as a student pharmacist.”

HEXAGON:
Six-Point Mastery Learning Model®
CHRISTINE TAING PharmD Class of 2022 “I firmly believe in the Roseman University Six-Point Mastery Learning Model®, and what I like most about this model is the Block Curriculum, where we focus on only one topic at a time and move on to another topic every two weeks. This allows us to fully master a concept before moving on to the next one.”
CHRISTOPHER HERNANDEZ PharmD Class of 2021 “Collaborating with peers to get through assignments was essential to my education. For our class, we say we are all a pharmily, and it is true. We supported each other there every phase of the curriculum, and I don’t know what I would have done without my peers.”
CAMERON IMAHARA PharmD Class of 2021 “Competency-based Education has helped me become better. The pressure to meet these standards is uncomfortable, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and I am happy to have a program push me and form me into a competent practitioner.”

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
I chose to be part of the CVS Health Spanish Pathway Program to make a difference in the Spanish speaking community. It is no secret that Spanish speakers are well underrepresented in the health community and I want to make a difference. Since starting the pathway program, I feel like I am making a difference. Throughout my rotations, I have witnessed the impact that I have towards the Spanish speaking community. I have had numerous experiences in which I have been able to help Spanish speaking patients. I am not just making a difference as a future pharmacist, but also helping inspire future generations.
FAVORITE EXPERIENCE
My favorite experience while being a part for the CVS Health Spanish Pathway Program is being on rotations at CVS pharmacies with primarily Spanish speaking patients. It is always amazing to help Spanish speaking patients understand their medications and provide the best healthcare services not only to Spanish speaking patients but all patients. There have been many experiences when I have seen the joy in Spanish speaking patients’ faces. It really is amazing to see their faces light up when they see that there is someone speaking Spanish in the pharmacy.
WHY APPLY?
I feel like it is important to be a part of the CVS Health Spanish Pathway Program because there is a large population of Spanish speaking patients. Most of these patients experience a language barrier with their health providers including their pharmacist. Due to this, most of these patients are taking their medications incorrectly or some of them don’t take them at all. This is because they don’t fully understand their medications because of that language barrier. For this reason, it is important to raise awareness and get more Spanish speaking students into the pharmacy field.
JUST GO FOR IT
It is a wonderful experience and opportunity to be part of the CVS Health Spanish Pathway Program. The program offers more than just rotations in predominantly Spanish speaking CVS pharmacies. It offers opportunities to network and establish a well-rounded base for when you graduate. In addition, I know sometimes it is scary because of all the things going on with pharmacy school but it is 100% doable. So, if you are interested in applying, just go for it!

Fast Track BS/PHARMD Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Pharmacy and Nevada State College (NSC) have joined forces to offer NSC students the opportunity to accelerate their Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree through the Fast Track BS/PharmD Program. This program is available to NSC students pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biology degree and effectively eliminates one year of study as students pursue both their BS and PharmD degrees. Students who complete as few as three (3) years of study at NSC will have the opportunity to combine the fourth year of their BS and first year of Roseman’s Accelerated Three-year PharmD through the Fast Track BS/PharmD Program. After successful completion of their first year of study at Roseman University, which is also their fourth year of study at NSC, students will be granted their BS in Biology and continue their PharmD education with the College of Pharmacy at Roseman University for completion in two additional years.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
PROGRAM ADVANTAGES
The Fast Track BS/PharmD Degree Program at Roseman University prepares you to:

By having one year of overlap that counts towards both the final year of BS and the first year of the PharmD and by taking part in our Accelerated Three-year PharmD program, you will finish in six (6) years compared to the eight (8) years it typically takes to complete a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Pharmacy.
• Gain a solid, well-rounded foundation from a Biology BS degree with coursework in chemistry, physics, mathematics, statistics, and biology. • Be a competent, caring, and ethical pharmacist that interacts as a valuable member of an interprofessional health care team. • Understand the healthcare needs of the community to make a positive impact through the practice of patient-centered care. • Work in a variety of practices including community pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, educational institutions, laboratories, clinical, and long-term care facilities.
Save Money. By taking courses that count towards both your BS and PharmD, you will be saving a year of undergraduate tuition. Additionally, our three-year program saves one year of graduate tuition. Skip the Test. If accepted to the Roseman University Doctor of Pharmacy Program through the Fast Track BS/PharmD Program, PCAT scores will not need to be submitted. Know that you’re in. Applicants who complete the pre-professional phase of the Fast Track BS/PharmD program (NSC curriculum), meet the program conditions, and have a passing interview will be offered admission.
PROGRAM FEATURES
Innovative and Teaching-Focused Undergraduate Program. You will benefit from our small class sizes and have the opportunity to work closely with our innovative faculty as you develop knowledge and skills and receive training in modern laboratory and field techniques utilizing our state-of-the-art scientific technology.

Starting in the beginning of your first year in the PharmD program, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your learning from the classroom to real-world scenarios through early IPPE experiences – developing your professional knowledge and skills in a variety of clinical practice settings.
CURRICULUM

Apply to Roseman University College of Pharmacy program through PharmCAS and complete the admissions process.

Years 5-6: Complete remaining PharmD courses with Roseman University College of Pharmacy.
An Innovative and Collaborative Learning Model.

Why I Chose Roseman I chose Roseman because of the emphasis we place on active learning in the classroom. There are so many things in place that support this, such as the hexagonal classroom design to put students close to their faculty, attached breakout rooms with monitors to see and hear what’s going on in the main classroom, and student teams purposefully created based on each person’s strengths. The Future of Pharmacy I envision pharmacists being able to prescribe and practice independently in the primary care setting in the next ten years. I also envision pharmacists expanding their roles in ambulatory care and using telemedicine to conduct patient visits.

Why I Love Teaching My favorite aspect of being in the classroom is engaging students in learning, and discussing new research leading to drug development and therapeutics. When I see the excitement of learning and application of knowledge in our students that makes my day. Student Memories There have been many students in my career that made a lasting impression on me. These are the students who give my annual flu shot (I taught them immunization), who became my faculty colleague, and the pharmacists at local pharmacies. When I interact with them, I feel proud and accomplished.

Roseman’s Six-Point Mastery Learning Model® What is not to like? Roseman’s innovative model helps faculty incorporate instructional elements that might otherwise be ignored, but have long been known to enhance student learning, such as formative assessment and peer-to-peer teaching. Why I Love Teaching I love being in the classroom, whether it is in-person or virtual. I love taking the content I am teaching and making it relatable and fun to learn. I enjoy having engaged students and seeing the proverbial lightbulb click when students understand a concept.

Why I Chose Roseman Working at Roseman has provided me with an opportunity to study and teach science in a highly practical, health-centered environment, which is intellectually stimulating and enjoyable. The Future of Pharmacy It is an exciting time for pharmacy as pharmacist roles begin to transition from dispensing and counseling to greater patient care, such as medication management, immunizations, and even prescribing.

MEET ROSEY the ROADRUNNER
E
as a Roadrunner
Rosey the Roadrunner embodies the visual representation of Roseman, reflecting its history, culture and character – especially what is believed to be the defining characteristics of our students and alumni. Roadrunners are indigenous to Nevada and parts of Utah, in fact, they’re frequently seen running through the parking lot of the Henderson campus!
The qualities of the Roadrunner match well with Roseman students and alumni, because roadrunners are known for their: AWARENESS CONFIDENCE COURAGE CURIOSITY ENDURANCE RESOURCEFULNESS Roadrunners are also considered Medicine Birds by many Native American tribes in the southwest. The Hopi and other Pueblo tribes believed that the Roadrunner was a medicine bird that could ward off negative energy, and Roadrunner feathers were even used to decorate the cradles of their children to protect them. To Native American tribes in Mexico, it was considered good luck to see a Roadrunner. That tradition holds true today, for every healthcare organization considers it good luck to hire a Roseman roadrunner!
“I have found the best study group who have become some of my closest friends. I wouldn’t have made it through my first year of pharmacy school without them and their support. I can’t imagine myself anywhere but Roseman. I feel really lucky to be a part of the class I am in and to have the professors I do.”
“I’ve developed a large network with pharmacists and students due to my involvement in different clubs. My experience at Roseman has been greatly improved by the extracurricular events I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of.”

lover of sushi
I chose to pursue my education at Roseman because I wanted to attend school in Utah. I loved that it was only a 3-year program and I was thrilled that I could get started with my career faster. I was also really intrigued by the block scheduling of classes and the learning format.
PREPARED FOR SUCCESS Roseman prepared me for success through their required learning experiences in the field, which really helped acclimate me to life in the pharmacy. Also, Roseman provided amazing professors that encouraged me and gave me important tips, such as treating every day in rotation like a job interview. That is how I landed the job I have today! In addition, Roseman provided career and networking opportunities through career fairs. I was able to get tons of great practice interviewing and connecting with others. Most importantly, Roseman really teaches with an emphasis on patient-centered care, which has absolutely helped me in my career to be the best pharmacist I can.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS What I liked the most about attending pharmacy school at Roseman was the ability to participate in the extracurricular organizations and groups that are available. I became a member of a professional pharmacy fraternity called Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity Inc. I was able to have so many wonderful experiences and gain important skills in leadership, planning, and organization. Not only that, but I met wonderful people and built lifelong friendships. I will cherish my time there forever!
IMPACTFUL PROFESSORS
NER Mark
My two favorite professors are Dr. Rose and Dr. Adamson. They are both very organized and clear with their material and what they expect, and they both make learning enjoyable through their jokes, positive attitudes, and enthusiasm. They also really advocate for the students – especially those who go above and beyond in their desire to learn and grow.
