"My class is currently in our tenth integrated pharmacotherapeutics (IPT X) learning about antiretroviral therapies to manage HIV infections. To understand the complexity of adhering to an HIV medication regimen in the past, our professor challenged us to complete our medications— which are M&M’s here!— by the end of the week. We are lucky to have combination drugs today that are only once daily, such as Biktarvy (bictegravir, emtricitabine & tenofovir alafenamide) and Triumeq (abacavir, dolutegravir, & lamivudine)." – Tiffany Khieu, COP '21

"Taking Continuing Education classes and paying a visit to our former tech. Months ago we were writing his letters of recommendation. Now he's an optometry student! ?" – Drs. Charlene Trinidad (@drcharlenetrinidad) and Leslie Rabena (@leslieinthelens) on their former tech, Justin Lucido, SCCO '23 (@adjustinyurvision)

Thanks to these dreamy winter sunsets, study views aren't half bad. #MBKUView

Behind the scenes of the Timeless 20's MBKU Winter Formal is the MBKU Extracurricular Committee. They put together a spectacular event that made the first weekend back the bees-knees!

Everyone looked hotsy-totsy at last weekend's MBKU Timeless 20's Winter Formal. Lots of dancing, food, prizes and ice cream sandwiches to top off a fun night! How did you start the new decade?

"Fun way to start the week! School vision screening with my lab group. BEST LAB GROUP EVAAAAA ?❤️" – Reuben Mena, SCCO '23 (@eyeamreuben)

Professors Rivera, Galdamez, and Holt assisted and demonstrated proper venipuncture and IV insertion technique last week and their efforts were not in vein, the PA students did a fantastic job on life-like models and each other!

It was a pleasure having the @americanoptometricassociation Board of Trustees visit the MBKU campus and tour Ketchum Health Anaheim! Earlier today they met with SCCO students and talked about the benefits and services of the AOA and being a member.

From PA-S to PA-C, cheers to a new year as a licensee! ??Congratulations to the SPAS Class of 2019 for the outstanding 100% first-time PANCE pass rate! #MBKUProud #FourYearsStrong

We're not crying, you're crying ?Ryan Funai and fellow SCCO Class of 2022 had their first patient care experience with some special folks in their lives, "We’ve come a long way since we were first admitted into MBKU. We conducted our first comprehensive eye exams and most of the Class of 2022 chose close family relatives and friends to be our first patients. No matter what fumbles or awkward patient education we said, they sat as the most compliant and happy patients we could ask for. Thanks for supporting us on our journey to becoming doctors.
