Pharmacy students and faculty present poster at APhA conference

Students and faculty from the College of Pharmacy gave a poster presentation at the Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) held in Baltimore, Maryland on March 4-7, 2016.

Dan Mickool, R.Ph., M.S., director of continuing education, and Class of ’16 pharmacy students Ryan Crawford and Jennifer Hodges presented “A Guidance Document for Family Practitioners for OTC Medication in Pregnancy and Lactation.”

In this project, Mickool, Crawford and Hodges created a process document outlining safe over-the-counter medications that can be used to treat 13 common ailments of pregnant and lactating women. They designed this guide for use at the Family Medicine Institute in Augusta and the institute has now adopted it as an official guidance tool.
