Real-World Experiences Experiences

“Communication is by far the most critical skill that we work on and develop with the students. What I love most, when having students on rotation with me out in the field and in the clinic providing patient care, is for students to see that this isn’t just drugs—this is the patient as a whole. This is health, wellness, prevention, that it is about the relationships.”–Kam Capoccia, Clinical Professor of Community Care

A Message from the Dean

Sometimes people ask why I was interested in joining WNE as dean of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. They might suggest: Was it just our beautiful campus and facilities, and living in a part of the country the steeps in history, geographical splendor, and tremendous intellectual capacity? Well, yes, all of these things are undeniable, and were an important part of my decision.”–John M. Pezzuto, PhD, DSc
