Soon after Vassilios Papadopoulos became dean of the USC School of Pharmacy in October 2016, he approached Raffi Svadjian, executive director of community pharmacies, with a bold idea. What about launching a new pharmacy in South Los Angeles, an underserved area for pharmaceutical care?

Our location on a major academic medical center campus in the heart of a vibrant city offers extraordinary opportunities for internships, community engagement and mentoring. With 140 countries represented and 224 languages spoken, Los Angeles is filled with diverse cuisine, cultural institutions and recreational offerings. L.A. is home to more theaters, music venues and museums than any other U.S. city, and you can ski, hike and surf in nearby beaches and mountains.

“Because of the HCDA program and its wide array of guest lecturers all coming from high-level executive positions in biotech, pharma, managed care, medical devices and diagnostics, I quickly discovered that there’s so much more I can do with a PharmD and, when coupled with the MS in HCDA, I would get to where I wanted to be fast.”

“There’s retail, inpatient, ambulatory care, managed care, industry, compounding, specialty, the list goes on and on … If you’re able to find the crossroads where competency and passion intersect, then you will have found that dream career where you pinch yourself every morning, not believing someone is actually paying you to do what you love. And that’s why USC is one of the best pharmacy schools out there in the nation. The amount of exposure and alumni connections available to you are second to none.”
