An award-winning chapter of University of Nebraska Medical Center pharmacy<\/p>\n

students is celebrating National Pharmacy Week in several ways, and wants<\/p>\n

to let patients know where they can come to get the best information about<\/p>\n

their medications.<\/p>\n

Pharmacists are patients best and most accessible medication experts,<\/p>\n

said Paula Svoboda, a third-year College of Pharmacy student and president<\/p>\n

of the American Pharmaceutical Association-Academy of Students of Pharmacy<\/p>\n

(APhA-ASP) chapter at UNMC. When the patient keeps the pharmacist up-to-date<\/p>\n

on all prescription and nonprescription medications being taken and asks<\/p>\n

important questions, the pharmacists can monitor the patients treatment<\/p>\n

and help guarantee a healthy result.<\/p>\n

UNMC ASP chapter members are recognizing the importance of the pharmacists<\/p>\n

role with several activities during National Pharmacy Week (Oct. 20-26).<\/p>\n

Those include:<\/p>\n

· The proclamation of National Pharmacy Week at noon on Monday,<\/p>\n

Oct. 21. The proclamation prepared by Gov. Mike Johanns will be read by<\/p>\n

Lt Gov. Dave Heineman. In addition, Heineman and U.S. Rep. Lee Terry will<\/p>\n

make remarks at the ceremony at the College of Pharmacy building.<\/p>\n

· Students will give influenza immunizations from Oct. 16 through<\/p>\n

Oct. 28 at three Kohlls Pharmacy locations:  84th and Center streets,<\/p>\n

50th and Dodge streets and 127th and Q streets.  In addition, the<\/p>\n

chapter is involved in giving flu shots to UNMC\/NHS employees through its<\/p>\n

Operation Immunization project. The projects have brought recognition to<\/p>\n

the College of Pharmacy ASP chapter at national APhA conferences. Last<\/p>\n

year, the students received the national Division AAA chapter achievement<\/p>\n

award, along with regional awards for its health screenings.<\/p>\n

· On Oct. 26-27, UNMC fraternity Kappa Epsilon and Kohlls Pharmacy<\/p>\n

will team up at Westroads Mall. They will provide osteoporosis screening<\/p>\n

for $10, as well as free blood pressure screenings. They will be available<\/p>\n

from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

These activities are in addition to an extensive list of community projects<\/p>\n

in which the ASP chapter already is involved. A new twist this fall on<\/p>\n

the Operations Diabetes project, Svoboda said, is that students soon will<\/p>\n

begin taking the screenings to communities across Nebraska. The students<\/p>\n

will travel to West Point on Oct. 26, Ashland on Nov. 23, and to Columbus<\/p>\n

and Nebraska City this spring.<\/p>\n

Svoboda said the screenings help the students gain experience in their<\/p>\n

professional health-care roles. Pharmacists are more than dispensers of<\/p>\n

medications, she said. They also can provide medication-counseling services,<\/p>\n

including drug regimen reviews and drug interaction checks, coordination<\/p>\n

of patient care with physicians and other health-care providers, and monitoring<\/p>\n

of side effects.<\/p>\n

Theres a lot we can do to ensure the health of consumers of medications,<\/p>\n

and consumers should expect a higher level of service from todays pharmacists,<\/p>\n

Svoboda said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
