Community is Our Campus
LECOM School of Pharmacy Students Kick off Script Your Future Medication Adherence Challenge Throughout the month of February, pharmacy and medical students reached out to the Erie community to promote awareness and understanding of medication adherence. They embarked upon a month-long campaign known as the Script Your Future Student Pharmacist Medication Adherence Challenge. In 2012, LECOM ranked among the top five pharmacy schools in the national challenge. Erie County (Pa.) Executive Barry Grossman presented a proclamation recognizing the important role that student pharmacists play in health care and, most important, the way in which the Script Your Future Challenge will demonstrate the significance of diligently following prescription instructions and completing dosages. In Bradenton, Fla. The Board of Manatee County Commissioners issued a proclamation for the LECOM School of Pharmacy’s Script Your Future initiative. Stay tuned to a future LECOM Connection to learn more about the challenge and the way in which our students helped spread the word about medication adherence.
