Paul Hwang

UConn School of Pharmacy, Class of 2014

Background: Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I am graduating from the University of Connecticut.

Related Experience: Service through church organization in LOGAN Hope, Philadelphia, and Yucatan, Mexico. Volunteer at Talmadge Park Nursing Center.

For the past two summers, I volunteered in a church missions trip to Yucatan, Mexico. We were able to aid two impoverished areas by providing clothes, dispensing medication, and teaching English classes. This humbling experience has broadened my view of healthcare and all if it’s benevolent possibilities. One of my reasons for becoming a healthcare provider is to attend to any underserved population. As a pharmacist, I hope to assist patients with medical knowledge and direct them to healthier lives and hopefully I will be able to fulfill my goal to provide for anyone who seeks care. The UST program would give me an opportunity to work with others but also allows me to contribute my own knowledge and experience.
