PHARMACY QUARTERLY
Issue 06
by Allison Mejilla & Karen Hagen
My fellow pharmers
hopefully be able to retain (questionable in my case,
edition of the Pharmacy Quarterly. We hope that you
Table of Contents for this issue:
Community Education Report-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ Pg 3-‐5
putting all of them together.
Pharmacy Awareness Month Wrap-‐up -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐Pg 6-‐8
So take a breather from those books and read this last
edition of the PQ (you can stand to procrastinate a little
more). Along with some of regular features, we have Part
2 with Brent Horyn, a Day in the Life with Melanie Danilak,
a report on Community Ed, a PAM wrap-‐up, and so much
more!
And next year, I encourage all of you to participate in the
PQ even if it involves simply writing a single article for one
edition
helping to put the PQ together!

I wanted to thank you all for reading PQ this past year. It
has been a pleasure to be involved in the production of
this newsletter! I hope you have enjoyed the articles and
features. I am in the last week of my community rotation
in my 4th
in your first, second, and third year, I am living proof that
you WILL make it to the end of your program, even
will!
Pharmacy is at an exciting time, a real crossroads. I can tell
you that my community rotation was drastically different
otations, with a very heavy emphasis
on medication reviews and patient care. Over the next few
years, the clinical role of community and hospital
pharmacists will continue to grow and solidify. So keep
your clinical skills sharp, take summer jobs that involve as
many medication reviews as possible, and help lead us
into the exciting and new future of pharmacy!
