Maegan Casimir

School of Pharmacy

Why did you pursue a career in pharmacy?

Growing up, I was always interested in healthcare. My junior year of high school, I fell in love with my chemistry class and, through conversations with my teacher, discovered pharmacy. The more I learned about pharmacy, the more I realized there are ample opportunities to have an impact on a small scale through patient care, but also on a large scale where my outreach could affect the entire country in some cases.

Why did you choose WVU for your pharmacy education?

I chose WVU for my pharmacy education after attending a Decide WVU Day event. Everyone was friendly, helpful and excited about their role within the School of Pharmacy. It was so refreshing to see the excitement of faculty members as well as current students. Furthermore, I got to know Jennifer Clutter, director of advising, through exploring WVU and then during my pre-Pharmacy undergrad years. Fun fact, she officiated my recent wedding!

 

How has your experience at the WVU School of Pharmacy prepared you for your future career?

The coursework of WVU’s pharmacy curriculum is challenging; however, faculty members are always willing to help and support you in any way possible. I’ve also received a tremendous amount of support from both upperclassmen and underclassmen. I know I am receiving the best possible pharmacy education while continuing to be supported and mentored throughout this time.

Can you share your favorite memory from your time at the WVU School of Pharmacy?

My favorite memory was "Pie‑a‑Professor," a student‑run fundraiser where participants donated for the chance to throw a whipped‑cream pie at volunteer faculty, during my P3 year. As president of the Student Society of Health‑System Pharmacy, I helped start the event to raise funds for student travel. It was the first year it took place, and it was a huge success! Seeing faculty and students participate was such a nice break from the rigors of pharmacy school, and everyone had fun.

 

Is there a professor/staff member at the School of Pharmacy who has significantly influenced your journey? How did they make an impact?

Dr. Angela Goodhart has significantly influenced my pharmacy journey and me as an individual. She was the first clinical pharmacist I shadowed during my P1 year, and our connection continued to grow throughout my time at the School of Pharmacy. She has always pushed me to be my best while making sure I am OK. She is someone to whom I can go for honest advice. Dr. Goodhart is the kind of woman, pharmacist and mentor I hope to be someday.

As you prepare to leave, what will you miss most about your time at the School of Pharmacy?

I will miss seeing other pharmacy students in different classes. I have made lifelong friends at various stages of their pharmacy education, and I will miss seeing them every day.

What is your best advice for incoming P1s?

Reach out to as many pharmacists as you can who work in roles you’re interested in. There are many options within pharmacy, so getting multiple shadowing experiences will help you see what you might want in a career. It’s also a great way to build your professional and personal network. The first time you reach out to someone to shadow or meet for coffee can be intimidating, but during my six years in pharmacy, no one has ever said no and everyone has been willing to help.

What 's a fun or surprising fact about you that most people might not know?

My last pharmacy rotation was an international teaching rotation in South Africa. A week after I came back, I got married. Now, two weeks after my wedding, I'm graduating!

Wow! Congratulations on your nuptials. Tell us more about your teaching rotation in South Africa.

This rotation was a teaching rotation where I created therapeutic lectures, facilitated student questions, led bedside rounding, and debriefed post rounds. This was an extremely positive and transformative experience in terms of pharmacy and my personal life. If I could, I would 100% do this rotation again. 

What will you be doing after graduation?

I matched during phase one [of the ASHP Resident Matching Program] to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, Virginia. I will be completing an acute care Postgraduate Year One (PGY-1) residency track through VCU and I hope to match at there for my PGY-2 in psychiatry.
