Students plan outreach events

The 30 fourth-year PharmD students completing clinical rotations in the Phoenix area have put together a schedule of free health screenings and educational programs for the year ahead. On Aug. 14, students talked with elementary-school children and parents at Burton Barr Central Library about nutrition.

Here's what's coming up next:

  • Aug. 30-Blood Pressure Screening, 10 a.m.-noon, Senior Services East Senior Center, Phoenix
  • Oct. 2-Mini Health Fair (blood pressure and diabetes screenings and medication reviews), 7:30 a.m.-noon, Westminster Village, Scottsdale
  • Nov. 6-Mini Health Fair, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Edwards Medical Plaza, Phoenix

For more information on any of these, contact Jamie Joy, experiential education director for Phoenix, joy@pharmacy.arizona.edu.

Fun with Food was a great success! The kids learned about the food pyramid and took away some goodies such as coloring books, rulers, and even whistles. Thanks to the pharmacy students who helped to both organize and implement this kid-friendly event: Matt Roberts, Andrew Sterling, and Lisa Nguyen-Le.
