By Khinna Kaminske

Tripler Army Medical Center  –   What do you do?
I am responsible for optimizing medication therapy through evidence-based recommendations in an interdisciplinary team to improve patient outcomes. 

How long have you worked at TAMC? 
Three months. 

What do you enjoy about your job?
I like collaborating with other health care providers and caring for our patients. 

Why did you become a pharmacist?
I was a chemistry major in college and thought drugs were pretty cool. This led me on a unique journey of self-discovery and enlightenment when seeking a suitable career. I saw an opportunity to apply to pharmacy school and went for it. Now, I try to convince others that some drugs are excellent and can help you.
