43 – How This Pharmacy Resident Navigated Pharmacy School and Beyond

Giae-Derisse Black Women Pharmacists Podcast

On today’s episode, I’m chatting it up with Dr. Giae Dérissé, a pharmacist born and raised in New Jersey to Haitian immigrants. She is a graduate of Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and a current PGY-1 pharmacy resident at The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

While in her undergraduate studies and during pharmacy school, she gained a wide range of experiences such as substitute teaching, being involved in her local government, completing internships in public health and medical affairs and being active in pharmacy organizations. This strengthened her interests in education, clinical pharmacy, public health, and health policy.

Currently, her residency has given her a broad range of clinical experiences from her involvement in the state’s pharmacist’s association to academia, she is on her way to an exciting and flourishing pharmacy career!

On social media, she shares her life, her pharmacy experiences, advocates for pharmacy and various social causes, discusses public health and healthcare disparities, gives tips to student pharmacists and pharmacy residents to strive to learn more and be their best selves!
