This year’s program is led by This year’s program is led by seniors Kristin Ignacio and Tiffa-ny Jomoc. For those interested in giving back and fostering future Pharm. Sci. freshman, opportuni-ties to apply to be a mentor will be available next year!
Mentors met their mentees at the Dean’s Welcome during Week 0 and had a chance to explore UCI’s Involvement Fair together. Addi-tionally, there have been mentor/-mentee mixers to provide a relaxed, fun environment for students to meet and bond.
Each student is matched with an upperclassman within the major to provide a friendly
resource as they navigate through their first year at UCI
Irvine.
Boasting approximately 120 mentees and 53 mentors this year, the Pharmaceutical Scienc-es Mentorship Program has had
a great start reaching out to new, incoming freshman students. The program is
continously expanding and this continously expanding and this year is no exception.

UPCOMING EVENT
HOSTED BY PRE-PHARMACY SOCIETY
SPECIAL SPEAKER: DR. JENNIFER ADAMS
DATE:JANUARY 28, 2015
MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW
SCHRINERMEET DR. SAMSCHRINERMEET DR. SAM
Q. Tell us a bit about your
educational background.
A. I have a Ph. D in Genetics. I went to A. I have a Ph. D in Genetics. I went to
Colege at the University of Nebraska
where I studied Biochemistry. For grad
school, I went to the University of
Washington for Genetics. I then did a
post-doc with Doug Wallace in mitochon-
drial research for a year and a half.
When he took a job at UCI, he brought When he took a job at UCI, he brought
the lab with him.
Then, I started working with Dr. Jafari,
who discovered a plant that can extend
lifespan and slow aging. She wanted to
study its mechanism, so she was referred
to Doug, who referred her to me. I began
working with her full time in 2007.
Q. What is your field of interest?
A. Mainly, it is anti-aging. The big
question is “Why do we age, and can we
do anything about it?” To me, I think we
can. For example, a lobster can get
bigger and stronger as it gets older, so
clearly aging is something that doesn’t
have to happen. Calorie restriction is
something we have found that can slow something we have found that can slow
aging down. Things like cinnamon, rose
petals, and green tea can extend
lifespan. I look at the individual path-
ways and feed botanicals to flies and
observe them. We want to identify the
active molecule. I don’t see a reason
for aging, from a biochemical point of
view.
Q. What do you teach at UCI?
A. A few years ago at UCI, I began a
speech class when pharmacy schools
started to require it. I looked at dif-
ferent syllabi and took common themes to
form my class. For a final, students do
a science and medicine topic and present
it as if they are giving a mini seminar.
For physiology lab, it is more computer
based. But I have mixed feelings about
it because in order to get a good handle
on physiology, you have to work directly
with your hands. There are good advan-
tages to computer-based labs though.
Q. What kind of advice do you have
for students?
A. College is radically different from A. College is radically different from
high schol. You need to be responsible
for yourself. Study a little over a long
time rather than cramming the night
before. Read the syllabus! For research,
talk to the professor. When you go into
an interview, be sure to know what the
research is about. Don’t come in clueresearch is about. Don’t come in clue-
less. Once you get in, push yourself to
do something sufficient to be co-author
on a paper. Come back with information
and data the profesor can put on a
paper.

MYTH #5: IF I TAKE TIME OFF AFTER GRADUATING, I’LL LOOK WEAK TO PHARMACY SCHOOLSFALSE! TAKING TIME OFF CAN MAKE YOU APPEAR EVEN FALSE! TAKING TIME OFF CAN MAKE YOU APPEAR EVEN MORE WELL-ROUNDED AS STUDENTS WITH MORE LIFE EXPERIENCE OFTEN WORK BETTER WITH PATIENTS. TAKE THE TIME TO STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH EXTRACURRICULARS OR VOLUNTEER WORK; HONE YOUR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS; AND TO BE YOUNG. MAKE YOUR BREAK MEANINGFUL AND DON’T BE AFRAID TO WAIT BEFORE APPLYING. BEFORE APPLYING.
MYTH #4: PHARMACY SCHOOLS WON’T LOOK AT ME IF I DON’T DO RESEARCH.
FALSE, WHAT PHARMACY SCHOOLS ARE REALLY FALSE, WHAT PHARMACY SCHOOLS ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR IS THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE
FIELD AND THAT PHARMACY IS SOMETHING YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. VOLUNTEER AT A HOSPITAL, WORK AS A TECHNICIAN, TAKE UP A LEADERSHIP
ROLE IN A CAMPUS ORGANIZATION; ANYTHING THAT DISPLAYS THAT DEDICATION. RESEARCH IS NOT
MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO PURSUE IT, MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO PURSUE IT, MAKE SURE IT’S SOMETHING YOU’RE INTERESTED IN
AND GET INVOLVED!
MYTH #3: I HAVE TO BE A SCIENCE MAJOR TO APPLY TO PHARMACY SCHOOL
FALSE: AS LONG AS YOU FULFILL THE PREREQUISITE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTITUTION YOU’RE
APPLYING FOR, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A BIOLOGY/-CHEM/OTHER SCIENCE MAJOR
MYTH #2: ALL PHARMACISTS DO IS DISPENSE DRUGS
THOUGH THAT STILL REMAINS AN IMPORTANT COMPONE-THOUGH THAT STILL REMAINS AN IMPORTANT COMPONE-NET, USUALLY TECHNICIANS ARE THE ONES FILLING
PRESCRIPTIONS. PHARMACISTS PROVICE A SECOND SET OF EYES, ACTING AS GUARDIANS FOR PATIENT SAFETY.
THEY ENSURE DOCTORS ARE PRESCRIBING MEDICA-TIONS CORRECTLY, COUNSEL PATIENTS ON DIRECTIONS
AND DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS, AND EVEN PROVIDE
MYTH #1: THERE’S NOT MUCH I CAN DO AS A PHARMACIST BESIDES WORKING IN A COMMUNITY PHARMACY.
FALSE! THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THE PHARMACY FIELD IS THE VERSATI-LITY IN CAREER OPTIONS. HERE’S A SMALL SAMPLE:
- CLINICAL, NUCLEAR, ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AMBULATORY, REGULATORY
MYTH #6: THERE ARE PLENTY OF PHARMACISTS.DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES, WE’RE DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES, WE’RE EXPERIENCING A SHORTAGE OF HEALTH CARE PROVI-DERS. DESPITE THIS SHORTAGE, THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE SO THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR MORE PHARMACISTS. ADDITIONAL-LY, IT’S AN EXCITING TIME TO ENTER THE FIELD AS PHARMACISTS ARE FURTHER INTEGRATED INTO HEALTH CARE TEAMS THROUGH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT THERAPY.
