Medication safety is for everyone! 💊

🍎 Generation Rx visited Columbus City Schools (CCS) this summer to teach elementary students how practicing safe medication habits keeps us healthy and safe.

Led by academic fellow Josie Silvaroli, PhD, and senior lecturer Dan Michel, PhD, the students learned how to identify trusted adults and why they should never take medicine without supervision.

“It’s important for children to understand who their trusted adults are who can keep them safe and help them make good decisions,” Dr. Silvaroli explained. “By starting these conversations early, we’re helping prevent medication misuse and teaching kids how to take, store and handle medicine safely.”

Thank you, CCS, for collaborating with us to build a safer community!

🚨📰 Publication alert 📰🚨

Check out Professor Debbie Goff's recent publication in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy!

Dr. Goff collaborated with teams of pharmacists and doctors across seven Latin American countries to tackle antibiotic intervention in septic ICU patients.

"The ICU physician in Argentina proudly told me, 'Before this study, I never knew my pharmacist nor felt they could help my patients. Now I have a dedicated desk in the ICU for my pharmacist, and I will not work without her,'" Dr. Goff said. "It was a beautiful experience for me to witness. I love teaching physicians the value of pharmacists, many of whom are still in primary dispensing roles and often never seen by the physicians."
