University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy 2008-2009 Academic YearFaculty Advisors: Michele Splinter and Ann LloydThe student chapter held its Thirteenth Annual Clinical Skills Competition in October 2008. The winning team, Julie Beller and Ashley Nebbia, represented the College in the National Clinical Skills Competition at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in Orlando, Florida. A number of other students attended the Midyear meeting and manned the Student Showcase booth which described the poison prevention outreach of the chapter this year. Members worked with the Oklahoma Poison Center to promote safety awareness and poison education at three health fairs during the Fall 2008 Semester. Other service projects include assisting with Wish Night, a fundraiser held by the students of the OU College of Pharmacy benefiting the Make a Wish Foundation and participation in The Big Event to be held on March 28, 2009. The student society submitted the application and met the criteria for recognition as an ASHP Recognized Student Society. With this award, the past and current presidents were given awards and one student was given a paid registration to the Clinical Midyear Meeting. Regular meetings are held throughout the year at the college and invited speakers have presented on a wide range of topics. At the first meeting of the year, Renee Tobey, President, described the benefits of joining sOSHP, OSHP and ASHP. Over 81 members were recruited for the 2008-2009 year. Speakers this year included Michele Splinter, chapter co-advisor in Oklahoma City, who gave a primer on the Clinical Skills Competition. In October, Craig Trusley spoke on the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program. He and Matt Brammer are current residents and two P-4 OU students have been accepted to be residents starting this summer. Residents participated in two residency panel discussions to give current students information regarding availability and expectations of residencies during November. Our December speaker was Lesley Roth Maloney, President of OSHP. During the spring semester, Tammy Spears informed students of her role as a pharmacist in a long-term acute care hospital and Sarah Martin, a clinical pharmacist at St. John Medical Center spoke about her PGY-1 residency at St. Francis in Tulsa. New officers will be elected at our next meeting in April. Current officers are listed below.
