A CLOSER LOOK: Angela Turner Cassano, PharmD ’99 The story behind the Pharmfusion Professional Development Scholarship
B
y age four, Angela Turner Cassano, PharmD ’99, knew she wanted to be a pharmacist when she grew up. Frequently visiting military hospitals because of ear infections, the military brat, as she called herself, would stand at the pharmacy counter and watch the brightly colored pills spin around and shoot out of a machine. Seventeen years later, Cassano was still excited to work with medications. It was her second year of pharmacy school at Campbell and she was on rotation at Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital in Dunn. But pharmacy had become more than just colorful pills; her childhood dream had grown to a real interest in science and health care. During the rotation, Cassano discovered she wanted to work in hospital pharmacy. The clinical aspect had a lot to do with it, and she liked the pace. But it was the interactions with her preceptor, Alyce Holmes that made the largest impression.
