Student Spotlight: Joel Ayeni
After graduating high school at 17 with a full scholarship, Joel planned to become a pediatrician. Financial hardship, however, forced him to leave college a nd focus on parttime work. On his mother’s recommendation, he enrolled in the Phipps Allied Health Career Pipeline program, delivered in partnership with Hostos Continuing Education & Workforce Development (CEWD). The program introduced him to a range of healthcare careers and sparked his interest in pharmacy.
Joel completed the Phipps program in 2015 and then enrolled in the Hostos Patient Care Technician (PCT) program in 2016. Through Hostos, he earned certifications in Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA), CPR, Electrocardiography Technician (ECG/EKG), Phlebotomy Technician, and Patient Care Technician (PCT). He describes the Phipps-Hostos program as a “game changer” for his career, crediting it with giving him a strong foundation and clear direction. Joel also highlights the instructors’ deep experience and capability, which gave him confidence in the training he received.
While completing his certifications, Joel worked part-time at Duane Reade and later joined Fidelis Care. He also externed at Montefiore and Jamaica Hospital. The training at Hostos helped him identify a sustainable and rewarding career path.
In 2022, Joel began the Doctor of Pharmacy program at Touro College of Pharmacy and is expected to graduate in 2026. He currently interns at the Hospital for Special Surgery and plans to specialize in clinical pharmacology.
