I hold a bachelor's degree in Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm-D) from India, which has deepened my interest in improving the healthcare field. With a robust foundation in pharmacy and a year of hands-on clinical experience, I've witnessed firsthand the potential of seamlessly integrating health information systems into patient care.
