It takes strength of character to work full-time while pursuing a degree. Cashmir is a diligent worker who is passionate about his profession in the healthcare field. Initially, healthcare was not the direction he pursued after high school. He started his career in a different industry, the real estate sector. Cashmir Luke worked for Long and Foster Realtors in Takoma Park, Maryland, for five years while attending Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland. Cashmir altered his job and educational aspirations after he settled on the route he wanted to take. Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee, awarded him a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry. At the same time, he worked as a respiratory therapy supervisor and rehabilitation coordinator at Tennessee Christian Medical Center. Cashmir Luke then worked as the pharmacy manager for Walmart in Owings Mills, MD, for four years while studying for his Doctor of Pharmacy at Shenandoah University’s Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy in Winchester, Virginia.
Dr. Cashmir has delivered various presentations throughout his career. He has discussed the effects of popularly used herbal items on pharmaceutical drugs, including issues that aren’t commonly addressed. While many prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals share plant materials with herbal remedies, prescribed medications only include purified compounds that the FDA regulates.
At the University of Maryland Medical Center, Cashmir Luke reviewed drug-related materials for pharmacists and other medical professionals. He also took part in clinical studies on new cancer drugs. He wrote an article about the Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005. The law now forbids selling over-the-counter cold medications containing the ingredient pseudoephedrine, which is often used in producing methamphetamine. Cashmir explained in layman’s terms the importance of putting a limit on the amount of pseudoephedrine-containing prescription drugs that could be sold and bought at retail.
As a part of a managed healthcare team, Cashmir visited patients’ homes with other nurses, dieticians, and carers for community-based outreach initiatives. Cashmir developed and presented educational seminars on influenza, pneumonia, and Alzheimer’s disease for older people and stroke victims. He guided elderly patients through registering for the Medicare Part D prescription program.
