Deepti Vyas
At Pacific Since: 2012
Deepti Vyas, PharmD earned her doctor of pharmacy from Purdue in 2006. She then completed a pharmacy practice and administration residency at Moses Cone Health Systems in Greensboro, North Carolina. Prior to coming to Pacific, she was a faculty member at University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy and was a practicing clinical pharmacist. She joined the Pacific family in 2012.
Dr. Vyas chose to pursue a career in pharmacy because she loved to study chemistry and biology. In addition, she sought out a profession where she could use her knowledge to make a difference in the world. When Dr. Vyas is not teaching, she enjoys traveling. Her love for travel stems from her background; she is originally from India, while she was born in Malaysia, she grew up in Kenya and moved to the United States to attend Purdue University. She has visited many countries including Kenya, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania and the Bahamas. She also enjoys outdoor activities such as biking, caving, hiking and white water rafting.
