5/31/19 I finished up the second and final day of the PCCA veterinary compounding bootcamp in Houston, Texas today! As usual, I left the PCCA headquarters feeling inspired and even more knowledgeable about compounding. This morning, after a quick round of kahoot testing our knowledge, we compounded oat based treats for horses. We followed that …
5/30/19 I made the trip back to Houston, Texas, home of PCCA (Professional Compounding Centers of America) yesterday to participate in the lab portion of the veterinary compounding course. I came to the PCCA headquarters for the introductory compounding bootcamp in December and absolutely fell in love with compounding! I took a PCCA BHRT (bioidentical …
5/21/19 Today was the final day in Washington DC for the IACP CCH, and it was one of the most exciting as we headed to Capitol Hill to meet with all the legislators about the needs of compounding pharmacists and their patients.

5/20/19 Day 2 of IACP CCH has come to a close, and it was a whirlwind! I end each day more inspired, and have learned so much in just a couple days so far. We started with a session on Clinical and Legal Considerations with CBD (cannabidiol). This is a huge topic of discussion across …

5/19/19 I am back in Washington D.C. for the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP) Compounders on Capitol Hill (CCH) Fly In.

5/5/19 As my first year of pharmacy school comes to a close, I am blown away reflecting on all the opportunities I was able to take advantage of and every piece of information I was able to learn. I am 25% of a Pharm.D., and I can’t wait to use my degree to help patients …
5/2/19 Being involved in your state pharmacy association is essential to practicing pharmacy no matter what stage in school or career you may be in. As an active member of APhA-ASP at Mercer, membership in the Georgia Pharmacists Association (GPhA) is automatic for me, but I encourage every student pharmacist to begin learning about the …
4/22/19 One thing I wish I would have done sooner after beginning pharmacy school is making more concrete goals in the form of a 5 (or 10, or both) year plan.
