NSU College of Pharmacy Students Attend 123rd Florida Pharmacy Association Annual Meeting
NSU student participated in the “evolution revolution” of the Florida Pharmacy Association’s (FPA) annual meeting hosted in Orlando, Florida July 10-14 . College of Pharmacy students sponsored by the FPA participated in a student-centered track and were assigned a mentor who shares with them their knowledge and expertise in their pharmacy experience.
The students also had the opportunity to compete in three different areas: the Student Poster Presentations, the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations and the Nonprescription Medicines Academy (NASPA/NMA) competition where students were tested on their over-the-counter product knowledge, and FPA’s Patient Counseling Competition. This year’s Awards Ceremony Banquet featured the theme “Mardi Gras” during which pharmacists from all over the state were carefully selected and honored with awards for their service and excellence in the profession. NSU’s College of Pharmacy students and faculty were winning “champions” having placed and won in more competitions than any other Florida college of pharmacy this year.
