Congratulations to Ms. Rachel Oliver, who was named LLUSP's Staff Member of the Year during our Commencement ceremony!
Ms. Oliver joined the School of Pharmacy in 2022 as Coordinator of Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs). In this role, she manages advanced clinical training sites for over 50 students annually. Beyond this role, she demonstrated a commitment to professional growth by earning a pharmacy technician license to gain a deeper understanding of the profession.
In Winter 2024, she published an article titled "Avoiding APPE Failure: The Crucial Triad of Communication, Time Management, and Self-Awareness" in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) newsletter, Section on Experiential Education. These accomplishments, pursued entirely through her own initiative, exemplify her intellectual curiosity, leadership, and commitment to lifelong learning. Ms. Oliver has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance and leadership while upholding the values of Loma Linda University.
