Dr. David Emaikwu c/o 2022

My time at Howard University was a mixed bag of emotions and experiences. There were moments of triumph such as receiving grants that I automatically qualified for and the harder moments such as my Spring 2020 semester when I was unable to register for courses for several weeks because of financial aid delays. The professors were some of my favorite aspects of the program. Beyond didactic interactions, they were mentors outside of the lecture halls.

APPE Testimonial: Dr. Fatoumata Bayo, Pharm.D. - Class of 2021

Moving to the District of Columbia and starting pharmacy school at The Howard University was definitely something I was nervous about! This was the first time that I was going to be away from home for an extended period of time without having my family close by, so you can imagine why I was nervous. Even though it was a difficult decision, I am glad that I made it, because Howard University College of Pharmacy (HUCOP) has contributed immeasurably to my growth and development over the past 4 years.

Providing a sense of hope and relief during the pandemic

The development of the first safe and effective coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine has been the most anticipated discovery in recent health care history. The pandemic also brought about a unique opportunity for pharmacists to step up and work to protect public health, as the vaccines received Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.

I have learned so much during my IPPE I rotation with Dr. Cyprian Sabah at Dupont Circle Pharmacy. Being an independent pharmacy, I got to see deeper into what it is like to run your own pharmacy business, as well as the pros and cons associated with being an independent pharmacy.

As my journey in pharmacy school comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the pivotal four years I had the privilege to spend at Howard University. This period of self-reflection has uncovered how my matriculation throughout pharmacy school has been nothing short of an amazing transformation for my professional growth. As I prepare to transition into a new stage in my career, I can confidently state that because of HUCOP, I am fully equipped with the skills and knowledge to continue to rise and impact my community through excellence and truth in service.
