PHCL/SHPEP student sets her sights on WesternU
C rystal Sin’s goal is to become an optometrist, and Western
University of Health Sciences has been there to offer
support, guidance and training every step of the way.
Sin was first introduced to science and medicine – and the
WesternU campus – when she enrolled in the Pomona Health
Career Ladder (PHCL) as a Palomares Academy of Health Sciences
student. She came to Saturday PHCL sessions for six years and
learned a variety of concepts related to health, science and disaster
preparedness from WesternU students in the Pipeline program.
“Pomona Health Career Ladder was extremely helpful in paving a
path by informing me about the background and responsibilities
of various health professions,” Sin said. “The PHCL program
inspired me to pursue optometry.”
