We have a new fourth year pharmacy student with us for March. His name is Jeremy Church and we know you will make him feel very, very welcome (as you do all of our students!).

Here is what Jeremy has to say about himself:

Hello, everyone! My name is Jeremy Church and I am a fourth year pharmacy student at The Ohio State University. I am excited to be here at Plain City Druggist for the month of March.

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I went to a small liberal arts college on the east side of Columbus called Ohio Dominican University where I earned my bachelor’s degree in chemistry. During my undergraduate career, I knew I enjoyed chemistry and math, but I didn’t really know how that was going to translate to the real world. In my junior year of college, I discovered pharmacy as a career by taking a career survey from my guidance counselor. Shortly after the survey, I began working in the community pharmacy setting and have loved pharmacy ever since.

I have a few reasons why I picked this site as a rotation during my final year.

First of all, when Joe came to OSU to discuss his store, Plain City Druggist sounded like a great opportunity to learn how an independent pharmacy operates. I have an interest in having my own independent pharmacy later in my career.

Secondly, my father is from Plain City, Ohio, so I have been in town a few times to visit a few of the places he enjoyed growing up. I thought it would be nice to work in the community where he was raised.

When I am not doing anything pharmacy related, such as rotations or work, I am usually trying to stay active. I enjoy going to the gym a few times a week and playing volleyball and basketball at least once a week. I started playing volleyball about 3 years ago and since then have pretty much been playing year-round (indoor and outdoor).

Well, I hope this gives you an idea of who I am. I am excited to meet all of you and help in any way I can!
