UNE pharmacy students develop interprofessional, outreach-focused Neuroscience in Health Professions Club

Recognizing the need for a student-based organization dedicated to community outreach and substance abuse education, Emily Reed (COP ’17), Brittany Sorbello (COP ’17) and Ashley Chace (COP ’18) have developed the Neuroscience in Health Professions Club (NHPC) on the Portland Campus.

Sorbello, Chace and Reed created the club as a way to provide the public with information about the science behind addiction and mental illness, while addressing misconceptions and creating open dialog.

As president of the organization, Chace is working to build connections between health professions students, establishing a group skilled in team-based service. In turn, Sorbello and Chace hope that the group will serve as an educational tool for UNE students, helping to equip them with the skills needed to provide compassionate care.

“The extensive work of developing and leading a group of people will without a doubt be worth it as long as it makes a difference to a single individual,” said Chace.
