We are so lucky to have a student pharmacist at Happy Druggist on Karl Road this month from The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy. Kelly Brookbank is a fourth year student who will graduate in May 2017 and then go on to practice as a pharmacist. In this posting, we’d like to introduce you to Kelly.

Hi! My name is Kelly Brookbank. I am a fourth year pharmacy student at The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy. As a fourth year student, I rotate to a different site each month. This month, September 2016, I have the privilege of working alongside Mark at Happy Druggist Pharmacy.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I love the Reds, Montgomery Inn, Graeter’s Ice Cream, and Skyline Chili. However, I have been in Columbus for the past eight years.

I first came to Ohio State to complete my bachelor’s degree. I have always enjoyed math and science–and these classes and experiences led to my decision to pursue a career in pharmacy. From undergrad at OSU, I applied and was accepted (Thank Goodness!) to Ohio State’s PharmD program. I will be graduating this coming May.

After graduation, I plan on completing a hospital based residency program.

Throughout undergraduate school, I worked at Skyline Chili and Kroger Pharmacy as a technician. During pharmacy school, I have worked as a pharmacy intern at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital.

I am very excited to spend the month of September with Mark and his great staff at Happy Druggist. I am eager to learn as much as possible, as well as get to know all of the patients! I hope I have the opportunity to meet all of you!
