My name is Christian Garner and I am a third year student pharmacist at Campbell University.  I am from Morehead City, North Carolina and enjoy extracurricular activities such as surfing, fishing, hunting, and many other outdoor activities.  Prior to attending Campbell University, I did not know what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I enjoyed learning about medication and its therapeutic effects.  I am also a Type 1 diabetic, so learning about diabetes has always interested me.  When I came to Campbell, I decided to pursue pharmacy because I discovered my passion for advancing medications, specifically diabetic medications.  Once I learned about the several routes I could pursue in the field of pharmacy, I knew CPHS was the perfect fit for me.

Bachelor of General Sciences

• Campbell University: 3+1 Clinical Research program

Graduate Program

• Campbell University School of Pharmacy

As a student who represents Campbell University's PharmD program, I have several personal and professional goals I wish to achieve.  My personal goals include establishing life-long connections with my peers in and out of the academic setting, improve my physical health, learn to appreciate advice from peers, and surround myself with people who encourage my success.

My professional goals include working for a pharmaceutical company that will advance my knowledge of medications, improve the general health of the public, educate patients on the importance of their prescriptions, and become successful enough to own my own pharmaceutical company.  My most important professional goal after I graduate from pharmacy school is to develop a cure for diabetes and be part of the extensive research that is required to develop this cure.
