Name: Carlene Oliverio, PharmD

Title: Board Certified Clinical Pharmacist

School/Program: The Ohio State University College od Pharmacy

Currently Wearing: The Rebecca Slim Fit Lab Coat

Why did you choose your profession?:
Simply, I wanted to help maximize patient care. After choosing pharmacy school, I knew I wanted to complete residency to specialize and work directly with attendings, residents and students as part of the medical team. Medicine continues to evolve as a multidisciplinary approach as we have learned it takes a village.

Current Passion Project:
Anti bullying. I started a campaign with another awesome medical doctor @drstellac with the hashtag #healthcareagainstbullying and it is our passion to amplify this as much as we can. It was healthcare professionals sharing personal or witnessed cases of bullying and our commitment to lending our voices to help stop it the best we can!

Who was/is your inspiration?
Honestly, my parents. They taught my sister and I we couldn’t do anything we wanted it we worked hard, committed, persevered and didn’t give up. Mindset is truly our biggest asset but can also be our biggest roadblock if not utilized correctly.

Fun Fact 1:
I collect rock n roll memorabilia!

Fun Fact 2:
Working out is my therapy!

Do you have any advice for others interested in entering your field?
Work hard, learn all that you can, and no dream is too small! Be polite, always challenge yourself and remember the motto patients first!!
