This past weekend, President Ryan and President-Elect Maggie traveled to Washington, D.C. for the APhA-ASP Student Leadership Institute! They connected with chapter leaders from across the country, explored their CliftonStrengths, and gathered ideas to bring back to campus. While in D.C., they also visited APhA headquarters, the Natural History Museum, and the White House. They are excited to share everything they learned with our members and can’t wait to see what our chapter accomplishes in the year to come!

Last week Jake Miller, an incoming P3 student pharmacist in SCAPP, traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the APhA’s Institute on Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Read more about the experience from Jake himself:

“Last week I was humbled to receive a grant through the SDSU College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions to attend the APhA SUD conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. During my four packed days I learned about the pharmacology, neurological bias, and stigmas surrounding substance use disorders. This was by far the most personal and emotional conference I have ever attended as a portion of each day was reserved for AA/NA style meetings. Learning from the pharmacist, interns, and technicians about their SUD story and road to sobriety can at a minimum be described as eye-opening. Almost everyone in their life know someone struggling with SUD and it is our job as clinical staff and community members to encourage safe, personalized, and effective treatments for those with SUDs and to treat the disease while honoring the autonomy of the person struggling to survive.

Thank you to everyone at the SDSU COP AHP and those I met in Utah for an amazing experience I will never forget and for the opportunity to grow and become a better student pharmacist and person.”

This past weekend, seven SCAPP members proudly represented SDSU at the APhA Annual Conference in Nashville, TN! Throughout the weekend, they engaged in educational sessions, participated in policy discussions, networked with students from across the country (including befriending 10 NDSU students!), and connected with SDSU faculty and alumni over meals. Between exploring downtown Nashville and gaining valuable professional experiences, they also brought home three awards for our chapter —First Runner-Up in our division for the Chapter Achievement Report, along with regional recognition for Operation Heart and OTC Medication Safety.

Thank you APhA-ASP for this amazing opportunity, and we can’t wait to attend again next year in LA!

This week, 22 students traveled to Pierre, South Dakota, for SCAPP’s annual Legislative Days!

On Tuesday night, students had the opportunity to meet with current and former SDPhA leadership over dinner. The next day, they performed health screenings -including blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood cholesterol- for legislators and observed House and Senate committee hearings at the Capitol.

We are incredibly grateful to our preceptors, SDPhA, and the Board of Pharmacy for their support in making this valuable experience possible!
