Phamacy Day 2010
Students will be engaged in fun general pharmacy activities such as compounding/mixing medications, then student teams will have the opportunity to become “specialists” in one of four areas: asthma, hypertension, immunization, and diabetes. Students will learn about prevention, monitoring, and treatment as it pertains to their specialty areas. One of the best parts of this event is that student teams will actually develop a short presentation/activity to bring back to their schools and/or communities to teach others what they learned at UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy.
