Pharm.D./M.P.H. Combination degree Student
Ruth Adeyemi
“My goal is to leverage my Pharm.D. and M.P.H. degrees to work with global/public health organizations, focusing on health policy development and global health program management. I want to contribute to evidence-based policymaking, the improvement of health care systems and the enhancement of international medication access and public health outcomes."
When the moment arrived to enroll in a Pharm.D. program, Adeyemi, a native of Nigeria who relocated to Jacksonville at the age of 16, knew the University of Florida College of Pharmacy was the clear choice at the top of her list. “Beyond academics, UF fosters a culture of mentorship and empowerment that has strengthened my resolve to drive impactful change in global health policy and program management.”
