Kimberly Diei, a pharmacy student at the University of Tennessee, is suing the university over its professionalism policies for medical students.
Kimberly Diei, a second-year doctoral student at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center s College of Pharmacy, said she has a “mind for medicine” and decided to pursue pharmacy as a way to touch the lives of a range of patients.
Diei got her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at the University of Chicago, which is considered one of the nation’s most academically rigorous colleges. She is a frequent participant in class, so much so that she said classmates have complained and approached her about limiting her speaking time.
