CAPPING OFF A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy Residency Recognition Dinner is an event where we recognize the achievements of the PGY1, PGY2 and ID Fellows during the year. Seventy-seven guests joined in celebrating this year’s 17 residents and fellows for the 2015-2016 academic year at the Redlands Country Club on June 23, 2016. Twelve of our residents and fellows were also able to complete the teaching certificate program. LLUSP also had the privilege of extending program participation to three PGY1 residents from Desert Oasis Healthcare and one from Desert Regional Medical Center. For event coordinator, Kyla Gilbert, someone who has come to know the residents and fellows intimately over the past year in assisting the Department of Pharmacy Practice, she shares that “being part of the Dinner last week was a highlight for me, too. I am happy for them in all that they achieved this year and their new beginnings ahead.”

Dentistry, LLUSP Associate Professor Alireza Hayatshahi, PharmD, BCPS, and Assistant Professor Farnoosh Zough, PharmD, BCPS prepared five patient case studies for the 163 students to review. Students were split into 25 groups which mixed both pharmacy and dentistry students alike, encouraging the exchange of inter-program knowledge among the students as they analyzed and prepared defenses to their proposed course of treatment. After each table was asked a question by the professors, a review of educational pearls of wisdom helped to close the loop of interprofessional learning.
