- Heartburn
Awareness – members will be working with Professor Patel and
various Pathmark pharmacies. Students will help with screening
and survey patients with suspected heartburn disease. 3-4
students each month will visit a different pharmacy along with Dr.
Patel to participate in this project
- Operation
Immunization – Flu season is coming up, students are asked to
educate the community on the importance of receiving vaccinations,
especially in high-risk populations. This project will be done
in correlation with SNaPhA (Student national pharmacy association)
during the flu season this fall.
- Patient
counseling – Students will participate and help out during the
patient counseling competition. It is a great way to gain early
exposure to the proper ways of patient communication. Winners of
the local chapter will have a chance at getting a free trip to the
national meeting next March at Atlanta,
Georgia.
- Smoking cessation
– November is Smoking Cessation Month. Involved members will
help educate local community or high school on the dangers of smoking
and how to quit. Detailed events will be coordinated by the
co-chairs.
- Stroke day at
RWJUH – Students will have a chance at participating in an all-day
event under the supervision of Dr. Tomasello. Students will gain
a better understanding of stroke recognition, prevention, and
treatment. They may even get some hands-on experience with
blood pressure screening, blood glucose screening, etc.
- Operation
diabetes – APhA is looking to having some new ideas for his
project. One proposed idea is to have a company-sponsored
diabetes education day for current pharmacy students. Further
planning is required amongst the committee chairs and members
- Career fair –
This is the largest pharmacy career fair held annually. It will
be on 2/13 9am-3pm at the Busch
Student Center. Over 40 companies
in the field of retail, hospital, industry, managed care, and
consulting will be present to distribute information to interested
students. It is a great opportunity to network and meet
potential employers for future internships and jobs. There will
be ongoing interview throughout the day for students seeking summer
internship. The elected co-chairs will help VP Suzannah in
coordinating this event.
- Fundraiser team
– a group of students with great fundraising ideas is needed to help
APhA raise money. All proceeding will benefit members who will
be attending the midyear and annual conferences, and all other APhA
functions. APhA welcomes all students to contribute on potential
fundraising ideas, it's a great way to develop your planning and
coordinating skills.
Other upcoming events include:
- Midyear Regional
Meeting – 11/3-11/5, Richmond
VA. All pharmacy
schools within region 2 will come together and bring forth ideas that
could be adopted into the APhA adopt in their policy book at the
national meeting. It is a great way to learn about policy
development and a wonderful chance to network and meet other pharmacy
students.
- In correspondence
with the career fair, we will have someone from career services to
come talk about resume/CV writing and interview techniques. In
addition, there will be resume/CV critique sessions to help students
prepare for the upcoming career fair.
- Annual meeting
– March 2007, Atlanta
Georgia.
Great way to spend quality time with current chapter members and meet
others from around the country. Days of fun-filled and learning
activities. Member reimbursement for the trip will be based on
the number of APhA events they attend throughout and chapter funds
availability.
- NJPhA – New
Jersey Pharmacist Association, go with our chapter's NJPhA rep to
attend monthly meeting involving a gathering of pharmacists.
Listen in on policies that will affect the pharmacy practice.
