This month, we are joined in the pharmacy by Prutha Patel, a fourth-year pharmacy student from The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy.

Prutha will graduate in May 2021 and will then take the test to become a registered pharmacist. Prutha will be with us throughout July, so please stop by and meet her while she is in the store.

Here is what Prutha tells us about herself:

Hello! My name is Prutha Patel and I am a fourth-year pharmacy student at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy. I will be on rotation at Plain City Druggist for the month of July.

I am originally from a town called Canton in southeast Michigan; however, growing up my family moved around a lot due to my dad’s job. We lived in Hiroshima, Japan for a couple of years and Dusseldorf, Germany for one year. As a result, I have developed a great appreciation for different cultures and a strong passion for travelling.

I have always been interested in science and I knew I wanted to do something in the healthcare field. It was my dad who first suggested I look into pharmacy as a future career as I was applying for colleges. I applied to The Ohio State University and received my bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences.

While I was an undergraduate student I started working at Kroger pharmacy as a pharmacy technician and became a pharmacy intern when I started pharmacy school. While working in the pharmacy, I quickly realized that I really enjoyed working directly with patients and was able to make a positive impact on their health as I counseled them on medications, made recommendations for over-the counter products, and helped administer vaccines.

As I finish up my final year of pharmacy school, I hope to gain more experience in different areas of pharmacy practice and ultimately hope to practice in a setting that allows me to make connections with my patients while helping them lead healthier lives.

Outside of pharmacy school, I enjoy reading, baking, binge watching shows on Netflix and Hulu, and traveling with my family and friends. I also enjoy listening to podcasts when I am driving. My favorite podcasts are “Binge Mode: Harry Potter” and various murder mysteries. Recently, I have been playing various card games such as Monopoly Deal, Uno Flip, and Spot It. These games have kept me entertained throughout the pandemic!

I am excited to be at Plain City Druggist this month and I look forward to making connections with patients while learning more about independent pharmacy practice!
