Lydia Kim, PharmD

Lydia is a dedicated clinical pharmacist with a strong foundation in both the pharmaceutical sciences and patient-centered care. Originally from South Korea, she moved to Washington at the age of 16. Early work experiences, including her first job at Baskin-Robbins, helped her quickly develop English proficiency and resilience—skills that would support her throughout her career in healthcare.

Lydia earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Biology from the University of Washington, followed by her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Washington State University. Prior to pharmacy school, she gained valuable laboratory experience as both a Pharmaceutical Laboratory Aide and a Microbiology Laboratory Assistant, contributing to her strong scientific acumen.

Throughout her pharmacy training, she expanded her clinical competencies and developed a deep passion for improving access to care in underserved communities. Her commitment to public health is exemplified by her leadership in organizing and hosting multiple immunization clinics in Spokane, where she and her team served over 1,000 patients experiencing homelessness or financial hardship.
