“Kyle will serve as the point of communication for all 12 chapters in the Southcentral Region and the National Office,” Assistant Professor Chephra McKee, Pharm.D., said. “I’m happy to also say Kyle is the fifth TTUHSC student in a row to hold this position.”

As a lifelong experience, Phi Delta Chi promotes scholastic, professional and social growth in its members and strives to provide quality services to patients, thereby advancing public health and strengthening pharmacists’ roles as health professionals.
