I just graduated from the pharmacy Texas program. It was great. I had a lot of fun here. The experience was amazing. The instructors really helped me understand I was able to actually talk about the things that I learned here in my interview and it gave me the edge to get the job well. I’ve actually already started working at CVS so I’m excited about where that takes me. It’s a fun experience and I would definitely recommend it to anybody else.
