A group of students from the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy have been out in northeastern Pennsylvania encouraging the public to “Stick to the Script.”
Matt Trbuza, a P3 pharmacy major from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (Go Mounties!) is one of the team members determined to highlight the importance of medication adherence in this year’s Script Your Future competition.
Why did you decide to study pharmacy?
I decided on a PharmD because I have always enjoyed biology and chemistry, and I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. My brother is also a pharmacist and went to Wilkes so he may have influenced my decision a little.
What do you enjoy most about the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy?
What I enjoy most about NSoP is the variety of clubs, events and opportunities available to students. There are many ways to get involved, develop leadership skills and connect with others in the field.
If you weren’t a pharmacy major, what major would you choose and why?
If I wasn’t a pharmacy major, I would likely choose biomedical or biochemical engineering. Both fields involve a lot of the same science I enjoy.
Why is Script Your Future important to you?
Script Your Future is important to me because medication adherence is a critical part of helping people feel better and manage their conditions. As a future pharmacist this will be an important talking point with patients.
What do you enjoy most about Script Your Future?
The best part of Script Your Future is being able to connect with the community while promoting better health through education.
