Pharmacy Perspectives - Fall 2010 - 2
COMMUNIT Y SERVICE
Message from the Dean
Every year I am amazed at the projects and the number of hours of service – both professional and voluntary – that our students, faculty, alumni and preceptors willingly give. The variety and breadth of activity is astounding. From cheering up hospital-bound children and conducting food drives, to reviewing NIH grants, coordinating and hosting conferences, providing relief to earthquake victims and supervising flu shot clinics, our students, faculty, alumni and preceptors provide thousands of hours of service annually. This edition of Pharmacy Perspectives is devoted to highlighting activities that are making a difference to our communities at home and around the world, the profession and the school. In this issue, you’ll discover what it’s like to help rebuild a health care system after civil war, be transported to Peru where students spent their summers assisting a local pharmacist and teaching natives the signs and symptoms of disease, and journey with an alumnus to Haiti to aid earthquake victims. You’ll also get a taste of what it’s like to serve on a Medicaid review panel, an NIH study section and editorial review boards. I hope you will find these stories as motivating and inspiring as I do.

School hosts first drug disposal day
Four hours. Seven pharmacy students. Four faculty members. One staff member. Six police officers. Numerous drums of over-the-counter medications, syringes, ointments and prescription medications. The school’s first-ever prescription drug disposal day collected and disposed of more than 756 lbs of medicines. “To put it into perspective, similar events in the metro area have collected one-fourth the amount in double the time,” says Dean Altiere who assisted at the event.
