MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW
----------Boasting approximately 120 mentees and 53 mentors this year, the Pharmaceutical Sciences Mentorship Program has had a great start reaching out to new, incoming freshman students. The program is continously expanding and this year is no exception. Each student is matched with an upperclassman within the major to provide a friendly resource as they navigate through their first year at UCI Irvine.
Mentors met their mentees at the Dean’s Welcome during Week 0 and had a chance to explore UCI’s Involvement Fair together. Additionally, there have been mentor/mentee mixers to provide a relaxed, fun environment for students to meet and bond.
This year’s program is led by seniors Kristin Ignacio and Tiffany Jomoc. For those interested in giving back and fostering future Pharm. Sci. freshman, opportunities to apply to be a mentor will be available next year!*
MEET DR. SAM
SCHRINER
Take the chance to learn about one of the Pharmaceutical Science’s researchers and lecturers. Q. Tell us a bit about your
educational background.
A. I have a Ph. D in Genetics. I went to Colege at the University of Nebraska
where I studied Biochemistry. For grad
school, I went to the University of
Washington for Genetics. I then did a
post-doc with Doug Wallace in mitochon-
drial research for a year and a half.
When he took a job at UCI, he brought the lab with him.
Q. What do you teach at UCI?
A. A few years ago at UCI, I began a
speech class when pharmacy schools
started to require it. I looked at dif-
ferent syllabi and took common themes to
form my class. For a final, students do
a science and medicine topic and present Then, I started working with Dr. Jafari, it as if they are giving a mini seminar. who discovered a plant that can extend For physiology lab, it is more computer

working with her full time in 2007.
Q. What is your field of interest?
A. Mainly, it is anti-aging. The big
question is “Why do we age, and can we

tages to computer-based labs though.
Q. What kind of advice do you have

have to happen. Calorie restriction is
something we have found that can slow

talk to the professor. When you go into

PHA RMA CY EDI TIO N MYTH #1: THERE’S NOT MUCH I CAN DO AS A PHARMACIST BESIDES WORKING IN A COMMUNITY PHARMACY. FALSE! THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THE PHARMACY FIELD IS THE VERSATILITY IN CAREER OPTIONS. HERE’S A SMALL SAMPLE: - CLINICAL, NUCLEAR, ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AMBULATORY, REGULATORY
MYTH #2: ALL PHARMAC ISTS DO IS DISPENSE DRUGS THOUGH THAT STILL REMAINS AN IMPORTAN T COMPONENET, USUALLY TECHNICIA NS ARE THE ONES FILLING PRESCRIP TIONS. PHARMACI STS PROVICE A SECOND SET OF EYES, ACTING AS GUARDIAN S FOR PATIENT SAFETY. THEY ENSURE DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIB ING MEDICATIONS CORRECTL Y, COUNSEL PATIENTS ON DIRECTION S AND DRUG-DRU G INTERACTI ONS, AND EVEN PROVIDE MYTH #3: I HAVE TO BE A SCIENCE MAJOR TO APPLY TO PHARMACY SCHOOL FALSE: AS LONG AS YOU FULFILL THE PREREQUISITE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTITUTION YOU’RE APPLYING FOR, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A BIOLOGY/CHEM/OTHER SCIENCE MAJOR MYTH #4: PHARMACY SCHOOLS WON’T LOOK AT ME IF I DON’T DO RESEARCH. FALSE, WHAT PHARMACY SCHOOLS ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR IS THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD AND THAT PHARMACY IS SOMETHING YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. VOLUNTEER AT A HOSPITAL, WORK AS A TECHNICIAN, TAKE UP A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN A CAMPUS ORGANIZATION; ANYTHING THAT DISPLAYS THAT DEDICATION. RESEARCH IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO PURSUE IT, MAKE SURE IT’S SOMETHING YOU’RE INTERESTED IN AND GET INVOLVED!
MYTH #5: IF I TAKE TIME OFF AFTER GRADUATING, I’LL LOOK WEAK TO PHARMACY SCHOOLS FALSE! TAKING TIME OFF CAN MAKE YOU APPEAR EVEN MORE WELL-ROUNDED AS STUDENTS WITH MORE LIFE EXPERIENCE OFTEN WORK BETTER WITH PATIENTS. TAKE THE TIME TO STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH EXTRACURRICULARS OR VOLUNTEER WORK; HONE YOUR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS; AND TO BE YOUNG. MAKE YOUR BREAK MEANINGFUL AND DON’T BE AFRAID TO WAIT BEFORE APPLYING. MYTH #6: THERE ARE PLENTY OF PHARMACISTS. DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES, WE’RE EXPERIENCING A SHORTAGE OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. DESPITE THIS SHORTAGE, THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE SO THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR MORE PHARMACISTS. ADDITIONALLY, IT’S AN EXCITING TIME TO ENTER THE FIELD AS PHARMACISTS ARE FURTHER INTEGRATED INTO HEALTH CARE TEAMS THROUGH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT THERAPY.
