The student had this to say about Dr. Nguyen:
Cassie practices clinical pharmacy at the highest level at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute. She creates a great learning environment by encouraging her students to ask plenty of questions. She first ensures that every student masters the basic fundamentals of oncology. Once they are ready, she slowly introduces them to complex cases to build their confidence. This approach gives students the rare opportunity to practice at a high clinical level under her guidance

What is your or your sites philosophy on educating students and/or providing pharmacy services?
My site philosophy is rooted in patient-centered care, with a strong emphasis on accuracy, safety, and optimizing outcomes through close interdisciplinary collaboration. I strive to serve not only as a clinical resource, but also as a role model and mentor. I am committed to creating a supportive learning environment where students are taught through hand-on experience rather than intimidation, helping build the confidence they need to practice independently. I tailor my teaching to each learner’s style and strive to foster an engaging, positive, and enjoyable learning experience.
What is a fun fact about you or the site?
I enjoy cooking for my students and introducing them to Asian cuisine, creating a relaxed space where we can connect, share experiences, and talk about their future goals.
