Hannah O'Neill

UConn School of Pharmacy, Class of 2013

Background: Lifetime resident of Windsor, Vermont. UConn graduate with a B.S. in Pharmacy Studies. Currently in pursuit of a Doctorate of Pharmacy (PharmD).

Related Experience: Worked as an intern through the Department of Veterans Affairs with a special focus on psychiatric and geriatric patient populations and served as a committee head for immunization awareness and outreach.

I wanted to become involved with the Urban Service Track because I want to better accommodate patient populations that may be overlooked by some clinicians. Many of the patient populations I currently enjoy working with and hope to assist in the future are considered underserved (ex. Veterans, psychiatric). In order to provide optimum care to these patients, I want to take every opportunity to supplement didactic lecture with clinical skills, thus improving my comfort level in working with patients. I feel as though the experience I gain by working with the UST will largely benefit my future endeavors as a pharmacist in that I will be far advanced in taking a well-rounded multi-disciplinary approach to patient care. In addition, the UST will further enable me to provide improved care for the patients I serve through hands-on clinical problem solving and field experience.
