Rodriguez gets degree from Texas Tech
Steven Lujan Rodriguez, son of Rogelio Rodriguez and Irma Lujan, graduated
from Texas Tech School of Pharmacy on May 20 with his doctor of pharmacy
degree.
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's Amarillo-based School
of Pharmacy graduated its second class of Pharm.D. Degree holders at the
Amarillo Civic Center Grand Plaza.
Fifty-nine students earned their doctor of pharmacy degrees, three of
whom were professional pharmacists who returned to school as part of the
TxPharm program to earn their doctorates.
Nelson said this year's pharmacy graduates will enter a job market clamoring
for the services of doctors of pharmacy who are able to play a front line
role in the provision of health care.
"The job market is especially short of the kind of pharmacists we're
educating," he said.
