by Hannahpatrice Gilbert, BBA, 2022 PharmD Candidate, Duc Nguyen, 2021 PharmD Candidate, Kaitlin Ledvina, 2023 PharmD Candidate
"The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the whole world, impacting every institutional learning experience. Pharmacy students, in particular, have been doing much of their education this year via virtual learning. The Medical College of WisconsinSchool of Pharmacy (MCW-SOP) has faced these challenges head on. During a more typical year, MCW-SOP students enjoyed a robust curriculum and many interpersonal collaborations. It was through these interactions that students cultivated relationships, created their own learning style, and grew as pharmacists of the future. It was also key for MCW-SOP faculty to accommodate diverse learning styles. The transition from in-person to virtual learning has been difficult for many MCWSOP students, and their ability to adapt has been crucial."
