Going into his third year at PCOM Georgia, Justice Sconiers (PharmD ‘27), has some pent up nerves, but it's mostly excitement for what’s ahead. A native of Grayson, Georgia, Sconiers is the first in his family to go to pharmacy school.
Despite initial jitters as a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) student, Sconiers threw himself into campus life from day one. During orientation, he explored various student-run organizations at the club fair, discovering The Georgia Pharmacy Association (GPhA), Kappa Psi and Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (CPFI).
These groups quickly became more than extracurricular activities—they became platforms for Sconiers to build his confidence, sharpen his skills and forge connections with other peers, faculty, and mentors across the PCOM Georgia community. Not only did getting involved open doors to travel and other leadership opportunities, but for Sconiers, it allowed him to step into formal roles within these organizations that unlocked his potential.
“I’ve always believed I had leadership qualities,” Sconiers shared, “but I wasn’t sure how to bring them out. Getting involved allowed me to tap into my creativity and take on responsibilities like organizing events.”
Now as the President of the Student Leadership Board of GPhA, Sconiers works with members from all four pharmacy schools in Georgia to raise awareness and encourage active participation within the state affiliate. He promotes meetings, both regional and at the annual convention, and shows how students can educate others about the profession through engaging events like Day at the Dome and Policy on Tap.
Sconiers firmly believes that with careful planning and flexibility, he can balance it all—academics, leadership, and personal passions—while truly enjoying the journey. “Even when things get busy, I believe things can work together. I love the work, the people, and the experiences I’m gaining.”
