Publix Pharmacy #1229
Rosa King, PharmD
The student had this to say about Dr. King:
“Rosa King is an exceptional preceptor who prioritized my learning throughout my experiential education. She encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and not be afraid to take initiative. Not only is she a great lecturer, but she is also one of the most supportive individuals I have met. She motivates me to improve both my patients’ lives and my own. She has supported both my personal and academic goals, inspiring me to become a pharmacist like her: determined, kind, and inspirational.”
Brief bio or Site description
We’re a new pharmacy located in South Homestead right across from my alma mater, Homestead Senior High School. We serve a multicultural population where four languages are spoken: English, Spanish, French, and Creole.
What is your or your sites philosophy on educating students and/or providing pharmacy services?
We try to instill in our students, that communication is key because every patient is important and the more the patient understands their therapy the more they can improve on their health.
What is a fun fact about you or the site?
As a fitness enthusiast, I encourage both my students and patients to incorporate fitness into their daily life. As an example, one of my summer intern trained and finished her first 5K during her rotation. Another intern attended his first Spin Class.
