Up front ENSURING MEDICATION ADHERENCE ACADEMICS University of Maryland expands pharmacy school The University of Maryland recently broke ground on a $67 million addition to its School of Pharmacy. The seven-story, 112,565-squarefoot building will feature new research laboratories and a dispensing lab with state-of-the-art robotics. “The school’s research program provides our students with access to cutting-edge science … [and] our faculty will be on the forefront of discovering new, novel and improved therapeutics, leading to our ultimate goal of personalized medicine,” Natalie D. Eddington, dean of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, said. The pharmacy school addition, scheduled to open in the fall of 2010, will allow the school to increase en- rollment by as much as 60 percent in coming years. In addition to the premium research facilities, the addition will include two, 200-seat lecture halls and an 80-seat lecture hall equipped for distance learning. MEDICATION ADHERENCE Pilot medication adherence program started in California InnovationRx has started a medication adherence awareness program that targets California pharmacists and patients. The program is designed to provide pharmacists with the resources needed to help ensure medication adherence. It’s a collaboration between InnovationRx, the American Pharmacists Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Women’s Health, and the Pharmacists Planning Service, Inc. “Pharmacists play an important role in advocating for a patient’s health and medication adherence is a critical topic, including the over and under utilization of medication, that should be regularly discussed with patients when dispensing medications,” Paul Lofholm, president of the California Pharmacists Association, said. ACADEMICS Harlem gets rst pharmacy school The ﬁrst school of pharmacy in the Harlem section of New York City recently celebrated its opening. The 66 students enrolled in the fall semester at Touro College of Pharmacy in Harlem received their white coats at a ceremony at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in late September.
