Malik Alomari, PharmD

Candidate - Class of 2028

1. Why I chose CSU-COP?

I chose CSU-COP because of its strong commitment to preparing students for real-world pharmacy practice, the supportive faculty, and the opportunity to serve diverse patient populations.

2. What I want to do with my PharmD?

With my PharmD, I want to make a direct impact on patient care by improving medication safety and accessibility. I’m especially interested in community and clinical pharmacy, where I can build relationships with patients and help them better understand and manage their health.

3. What strategies help you stay balanced and motivated in pharmacy school?

I try to keep a routine that includes studying, but also time for prayer, family, exercise, and rest. Breaking material into smaller, manageable sections helps me stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. And whenever I feel stressed, I remind myself that every challenge is preparing me to be a stronger pharmacist in the future.

4. Advice for incoming pharmacy students.

Be ready to put in consistent effort, but don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Stay organized, make time to review daily, and build a support system with your classmates. Most importantly, remember why you started.
