Capstone: Hannah Cho
Cannabidiol Oil: Information For Clinicians

My classmate and I completed a CAPSTONE project- in which we created an educational resource for clinicians to refer to in the Southern California area. This aligns with my personal and professional goal by becoming more knowledgable in an uprising therapy, in which there is not much research on. By doing this project, I became more educated in this field and will be able to deliver patient care in the future, if need be. 

Co-Curricular Activities: Hannah Cho
Hispanic Association of Pharmacists (HAP)

As a member of HAP, I attended general meetings and participated in fundraisers. This club was beneficial to me because we learned basic Spanish phrases that are commonly used in the medical world. Being trilangual can benefit me when I encouter patients who can only speak Spanish or Korean. Being able to speak Spanish will also boost my confidence in delivering patient care, knowing that I will be able to communicate with patients who cannot speak English. 

Co-Curricular Activities: Hannah Cho
American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP)

As a previous member of ACCP, I attended all general meetings. Just through attending general meetings, I was able to hear experiences from different pharmacists, which introduced me to many different fields of pharmacy. Through the expansion of my knowledge, I was able to be more confident and be more excited about the future and helped me clarify which field of pharmacy I want to pursue. 

Co-Curricular Activities: Hannah Cho
American Pharmacist Association (APhA)/ Academy of Student Pharmacists (ASP)

Being part of APhA, I attended all general meetings as well as participate in outreach events. I also attended events that provided insight onto other fields of pharmacy. Going to these events provided me more information  and allowed me to be open minded which can offer different experiences and a lot more opportunities. I also was able to work with other students and precptors during the community service events, which strengthened my communciation skills and my ability to work with a team. 

Co-Curricular Activities: Hannah Cho
Korean American Pharmacy Student Association (KAPSA)

Being an active member of KAPSA, I participated in all fundraisers and any social events that were hosted. There were no community outreach events hosted due to the Pandemic, but through the social events, I was able to get closer with club members. I also served as the treasurer, in which I was responsible for the organization's funds through membership fees. 

Co-Curricular Activities: Hannah Cho
California Society of Health-System Pharmacists (CSHP) / American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) - Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists (SSHP)

Not only was I an active member of CSHP, I also held a board position. I served as the Director of Professional Development of our chapter. I abided by the constitution and planned events so that our students have opportunities to volunteer at community events. Through these events, I was able to practice my deliverance of patient care and was also able to work with other companies to coordinate events.

Fraternal Organizations: Hannah Cho
Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, Incorporated

I have been an active member of Kappa Psi since 2019. Through this fraternity, I have built friendships with my brothers, as well as faculty members. This fraternity has thought me that there is strength in unity. It has also encouraged the importance of networking. 

Goals (Personal & Professional): Hannah Cho
Professional Goal

By the time I finish pharmacy school, I would like to be able to be exposed to as many fields of pharmacy as I can, so by the time I graduate, I will know exactly in what field of pharmacy I want to be in. Luckily, our school offers multiple speaker series, allowing me to discern which fields I am and am not interested in. I successfully matched with a residency program in New Jersey and hope to pursue a PGY2 in ambulatory care in oncology. 

Goals (Personal & Professional): Hannah Cho
Personal Goal

By the time I end pharmacy school, I would like to be confident in my knowledge and not to doubt myself in the patient care that I deliver. A lot of times, I fear that I am not good enough or that I don't know enough. Hopefully, by the time I graduate, I will be confident and be able to talk to patients, without being so nervous. 

Honor Societies: Hannah Cho
Phi Lambda Sigma

I was initiated to Phi Lambda Sigma, a national leadership fraternity, on October 2021. I was recognized for my outstanding leadership during pharmacy school. 

Honors & Awards: Hannah Cho
Fellowship Award

I had received a fellowship award for both my first and second year of pharmacy school. This fellowship award has encouraged me to work harder, knowing that there are people willing to support me financially so that I can succeed. 

Interests: Hannah Cho
My Interests

Some of my interests include ambuatory care, NICU/PICU and oncology. Unfortunately, I was not able to explore all of these interests during my rotiations but I look forward to gaining experinces in these fields during residency. 

Interprofessional Education (IPE): Hannah Cho
Shadowing

I was given the opportunity to shadow an inpatient clinical pharmacist at Providence Little Company of Mary. During this experience, I got to work up a few patients and have a fruitful discussion with the pharmacist that I was shadowing. We then attended rounds, which consisted of an interdisciplinary team. We discussed each patient for about 20 minutes- with each disciplinary sharing updates in the patients care. This was a really unique experience, as I got to get a glimpse of what an inpatient clinical pharmacist daily life would look like. In addition, I learned what patient care looks like comprehensively, when all disciplinaries come together. 

Interprofessional Education (IPE): Hannah Cho
Interprofessional Education

Our school offers IPE speaker series throughout the year. During these events, we are placed in a simulation where we round with an interprofressional team (students from different programs from different schools) to deliver patient care. I value these simulations because it models what actually happens in the real world. Through these simulations, I am able to be more confident in counseling a patient but also learning the importance of teamwork. 

We had 2 IPE events last year- Burrell Case Study and MI session with UCI. 

During the Burrell Case study, we were working with a DO school in New Mexico. We worked up a longitudinal case and worked together as DO and pharmacy students to deliver the best treatment we could. 

During the UCI MI simulation, we worked with medical students, speech and nursing students to interview a patient and maximize the patient's therapy. 

Languages Spoken / Skills: Hannah Cho
Languages Spoken

I am able to speak English and Korean. Unfortunately, I am not fluent enough to deliver patient care in Korean, but can have a casual conversation. 

Leadership: Hannah Cho
KAPSA Treasurer

As the treasurer for KAPSA, I was responsible for all the funds for our organization. Our funds mainly came from membership dues, as fundraisers were restricted because of COVID. 

Leadership: Hannah Cho

As a CUSP Student Ambassador, I attend events that our coordinators plan. During these events, I answer questions from prospective students and their parents as well. I offer insight on what it's like to be a student here at Chapman Univerisity and how to balance academics but also co-curricular activities. 

Leadership: Hannah Cho
Mentor- Mentee program

Ever since my second year of undergrad, I was assigned to 2 mentees. During undergrad, I was able to guide them in deciding which electives to take or clubs to be a part of.

My Bio: Hannah Cho
Biography

My name is Hannah Cho and I am 22 years old. I grew up in Redondo Beach, CA for almost my whole life. Throughout my middle school and high school days, I was active at school through band (in middle school) and student government (in high school). I was also very devoted to church, serving on the church praise team for 6 years and going on mission trips for 12 consecutive years. I hold all my mission experiences close to me, as I have grown spiritually and mentally. An encounter during a mission trip is what has led me to pursue this profession. 

Knowing that I wanted to pursue pharmacy since high school, I have been so fortunate to be able to attend an accelerated pharmacy program at Chapman Univeristy. This program is structured as a 2+3: 2 years of undergrad and 3 years of pharmacy school. Now that I am finishing up my last year of pharmacy school, I look back to see how much more knowledgeable I am. Not only that, I am learning things about myself each and everyday, shaping me to become a successful health care provider in the future. With graduation coming in a blink of an eye, I look forward to continuing my education during resdiency and preparing for the real world. 

Presentations: Hannah Cho
Clinical Implications of TPMT and NUDT15 Pharmacogenomic Tests

I will be presenting a poster at WPE 2022 comparing detection rates of pharmacogenomic tests for selected ethnic groups. Research is discussed more in detail under the research tab. 

What is a residency? Residency is a specific stage of graduate medical education. It refers to a qualified physician, podiatrist, dentist, pharmacist, or veterinarian (one who holds the degree of MD, DPM, DDS, DMD, DVM, DO, BDS, PharmD, or BDent; or MB; BS, MBChB, or BMed) who practices medicine or pharmacy, usually in a hospital or clinic, under the direct or indirect supervision of a senior medical clinician registered in that specialty such as an attending physician or consultant.
Residency: Hannah Cho
St. Joseph's University Medical Center

I was fortunate enough to match with a program in New Jesey at St. Jospeh's University Medical Center! This is a general program with rotations focusing on both inpatient and ambulatory care. I plan to pursue a PGY2 in ambulatory care in oncology.

Travel (My Travel Experience): Hannah Cho
My Travel Experience

I have been fortunate enough to have gone to multiple mission trips all my life, allowing me to travel all around the world. I have been to somewhere as close as Oakland, CA and Seattle, Washington to as far as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan.

I have also been able to travel for fun with friends and family to the Bahamas, Japan, South Korea, Cancun, Germany, New Amsterdam, Prague and Czech Republic. 

Going to different countries around the world is what led me to pursue pharmacy. I was able to see the lack of medical care in certain countries, encouraging me to be a medical missionary when I am older. 

Volunteer, Community & Civic Activity: Hannah Cho
Diabetes Education Class

I was given the opporunity to lead a Diabetes Education class to patients with a group of other students and other professionals- like a licensed dietician. During this course, we had to prepare a powerpoint slide emphasizing the importance of lifestyle mofidications to well manage diabetes. In addition, we also educated patients on each class of medications we use to control diabetes and how they work in our body. We ended the course with a Kahoot game to assess how well the patients understood all the information discussed. Overall, we had received positive feedback from the patients. 

Volunteer, Community & Civic Activity: Hannah Cho
