Everyone wants to be a Husky! The University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy Florence Rome P1 students who spend their Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience rotation at the CVS site in West Hartford, CT have the pleasure of working with preceptor Florence Rome. Her unique background allows her to connect with students who have also immigrated to America and she truly appreciates their various cultures. Rome was born in Nigeria, attended high school in Switzerland and moved to America after she graduated. She earned her pharmacy degree from St. John’s University in 1987. At her site, students focus on community practice and become familiar with the tasks involved in the day-to-day life of retail pharmacy. “After they are introduced to the pharmacy’s physical lay-out and our basic procedures, the students work alongside me, according to a plan we devise together for the best learning experience possible,” says Rome. For many of Rome’s foreign students, this rotation is the first opportunity they have to experience a pharmacy setting. Rome enjoys her time with foreign students for cultural reasons as well. She says, “I love training students from throughout the world, and those born abroad are encouraged to share their cultures with my staff and me. We get very excited when we discuss music, food, customs, languages, and did I say food?” She hopes that after their time with her, students will learn how rewarding a profession in retail pharmacy can be and how enjoyable it is to have the opportunity to help people every day.
