School of Health Sciences Faculty

Jerome Brown

When Dr. Jerome Brown raises the bar, he does it in such a way that makes it easy for others to follow. As if tackling the feat of transitioning the Anatomy & Physiology course from eight to 10 credits wasn’t enough, Dr. Brown took on the responsibility of ensuring positive results for students and faculty as well.

With an MD from the Medical College of Wisconsin, Jerome teaches full-time on the Land O' Lakes/East Pasco campus in the School of Health Sciences. His nine-year tenure as a pharmaceutical technician in hospitals and retail pharmacies, including CVS Pharmacy, makes him an ideal supervisor for students during their in-field practicums.
