We have a new student pharmacist from The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy for the month of December. Please make Marie feel welcome when you stop in the drugstore.

Here is what Marie has to say about herself:

“Hi! My name is Marie Corbo. I am from northeast Ohio. I grew up loving guitars, dogs, music, mathematics, and spending time with friends and family. I love to tell jokes and make people laugh. I also enjoy peace and quiet from time to time, but I like to work really hard, as well.

“I became interested in pharmacy after a shadowing experience at Hillcrest Hospital when I was 16. My great aunt suggested that I continue to pursue my interest in pharmacy and apply to Ohio State’s pharmacy program. As a student, I became even more interested in hospital pharmacy, but I also would like to know more about compounding, MTMs (Medication Therapy Management), and community pharmacy–that is why my advisor suggested a rotation at Plain City Druggist!

“Next year I hope to do a general one-year hospital residency and then I plan to move to Cleveland once I’m done with school.”
