Research and Impact Areas
The Jackson Free Clinic
The Jackson Free Clinic is a student-run non-profit organization offering medical, dental, psychiatric services, physical therapy, and occupational therapy to uninsured patients in the Jackson metropolitan area. The School of Pharmacy faculty, residents, and students run a charity pharmacy at JFC, providing important medications, vaccines, and patient education to improve patient health.
Operation Immunization
In conjunction with a national campaign driven by the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists, the UM chapter of the organization annually coordinates multiple opportunities for faculty, staff, students, and community members to get flu shots. Operation Immunization’s goal is to increase the public’s knowledge of immunizations while also increasing the number of adults receiving immunizations.
Impacting Our World!
I spent a month participating in APhA's Student exchange program in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Costa Rica. I worked with the Centro de Desarrollo de Análisis y Asesoría para la Industria (CEDAAI) on a project to innovate the current system of pharmaceutical medication management, knowledge, and storage within federal prisons. Additionally, I joined pharmacy students at the Universidad de Ciencias Medicinas in industrial pharmacy classes and labs, creating pills and capsules, analyzing compounds, and unraveling the processes and equipment used to create and test medicine. I was exposed to pharmacists in the hospital, industry, and community settings and the varying clinical simulations used for learning by the students at the university.
