I am a devoted, motivated student and a very enthusiastic pharmacist in the making!
Mohammed Kalam, PharmD Candidate
My name is Mohammed Kalam and I am currently a first year pharmacy student. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Bridgeport in Health Science and am now pursuing my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Saint Joseph. I chose pharmacy as a career because of my interest in medicine and how they work in the body. It began when my brother was diagnosed with leukemia over 10 years ago. Thankfully he’s now completely healthy, however at the time, visiting him in the hospital and seeing firsthand what goes on with the treatment and management of cancer both terrified me and sparked my lasting curiosity and appreciation for medicine.
