Faculty - Pharmacy

Dr. Hyeryeon (Helen) Noh joined the School of Pharmacy, Husson University, as an Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice on August 20, 2012. She received her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston in 1994.

After graduation, she worked for community pharmacies and Kaiser Permanente in California as a staff pharmacist and manager for many years. Helen was always interested in the clinical pharmacy field and education of pharmacy students. To pursue her career as a clinical pharmacist and educator, she moved to hospital pharmacy and at the same time went back to school to earn her doctoral degree at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 2011. She is a strong believer of multidisciplinary patient care, and was actively engaged with many projects in collaboration with other medical professionals to enhance patient care outcome.

While performing her projects, she developed her interest in direct patient care in ER pharmacy. In 2011, she joined an ASHP-sponsored ‘Patient Care Impact Program’ for implementing ER pharmacy practice at her work site. She completed the program successfully and earned a certificate from ASHP.
Prior to joining the faculty at Husson University, Helen taught P4 students in APPE internal medicine rotations as a preceptor and spent time to identify how to guide the students to maximize their learning experience during the APPE rotations and to facilitate their success as a health care team member.

As a consultant of the Korean Society of Health-system Pharmacists and hospital pharmacies in South Korea, she provided them with presentations to introduce the clinical pharmacy in the U.S. and assisted them in building up a new relationship with the hospital pharmacies in the U.S. to participate in the global health care system.

I believe patient care and educating the students come from a very common ground. A practitioner has to be sensitive to the patient’s need and the ultimate goal is to produce optimal treatment based on the individualized assessment, a teacher should be perceptive to students’ needs and be able to help them be successful. I hope, as a teacher, I can stimulate students’ critical thinking and clinical skills. By being a respectful role model of a clinical pharmacist, I would like to help them get ready to become a part of the health care system and make a successful transition from a pharmacy student to a skillful and professional pharmacist. My goals are to aid them in learning how to build up and maintain collaborative relationships with other health care professionals. I would like to share my knowledge, visions, and passion in pharmacy field, and eventually inspire all students to dream high, wherever they decide to go and whatever they do in different practice settings. Whenever I see that students are achieving their goals, I can say that I have been reaching my goals.
