Former scholarship recipients:
2020 – Alexi Ismail, Delanie Phillips
Alexi (Lexi) Ismail is one of the James R. Naibert, M.D., Healthcare Occupation Scholarship Awardees for 2020. She is a graduate of West Albany High School where she graduated as a Valedictorian. She spent some time at LBCC before transferring to OSU to study Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, she decided that she wanted to use her knowledge for the well-being of others and turned her career goals to healthcare. She is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy program at OSU. She was intrigued by how pharmacists are such accessible healthcare providers and, in the future, she wants to make herself available to those for whom access to healthcare is a challenge. Her ultimate goal is to be an Ambulatory Care Pharmacist, a new program that allows pharmacists to take a more expanded role in the care of patients.
In her program at OSU, she has taken several leadership positions and is the President-Elect of the OSU Student Chapter Affiliate of the American Society of Health System Pharmacists/Oregon Society of Health System Pharmacists and is the Treasurer for the Chapter of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists. She is a member of the Apothecary Ball planning committee and volunteers as a member of the OSU Wellness Task Force.

She will be spending her senior year on an unpaid Internship at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital building her experience in X-Rays in preparation for taking her certification test in 2021. Her ultimate goal is to cross-train in Mammography and Computed Tomography.
