Hong Kui Chen, PharmD, is a graduate of The Ohio State University Pharmacy Class of 2022. He is currently working as a clinical research associate at Medpace, Inc, a contract research organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. His work consists of traveling to various sites around the country and providing protocol training on new clinical trials or monitoring data. While he enjoys the traditional retail and hospital pharmacy settings, he wanted to expand and pursue this non-traditional role to see how clinical trials operate. He has a passion for being able to impact patients on a grand scale and even though his current role isn't able to provide the 1-on-1 patient interaction, he knows the  work that he is doing will have long lasting contributions to overall patient health.
