Atlantic City is known for its game of chance. Philadelphia College of Pharmacy was represented by four doctor of pharmacy students who tried their luck in the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) Self-Care Championship. Kaitlyn Harper PharmD’17, Dipal Patel PharmD’17, Alexander Micale PharmD’16, and Joe Roselli PharmD’16 competed against teams from Temple University, Long Island University, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. Harper is also the student liaison for the PCP NJPhA student group on campus, and completed a rotation at the NJPhA offices working with NJPhA CEO Elise Barry. Grace Earl P’86, PharmD’92, the faculty advisor, served as a competition judge. The students were congratulated by Moriah Weissman PharmD’08, Ed Curtin P’82, and Michael Barnett PharmD’07.
At the forefront of the organization was NJPhA president Moriah Weissman PharmD’09 who completed her reign as president of NJPhA for 2014-15. At the awards installation, it was noted that Weissman was also the youngest person to serve as president. She was congratulated by Steve Zlotnick P’77. Timothy Nguyen PharmD’02, the Long Island University faculty advisor for the student chapter, was on hand as the LIU student chapter received the student award for involvement in NJPhA activities.

NJPhA offered certificate programs in medication therapy management and consulting pharmacy. There were also continuing education programs on acute coronary syndrome and medication error prevention. There was a full day of student programming. A new session was “Practical Politics and Pharmacy” delivered by Loretta Brickman, RPh, and Harold Bobrow, RPh. The Networking Roundtable sessions were repeated this year and were a big success.
Stacy Rosemarin P’83 was thrilled to connect with 20 alumni who attended the event. Recent grads included Dan Barbieri PharmD’12 of Sanofi and Dan Boulos PharmD’15 who is completing a Rutgers pharmaceutical industry fellowship. Hank Schwartz P’70, PharmD, director of community pharmacy practice experience, got a chance to catch up with with Alan Aronovitz P’82 and Edward Curtin P’82.
