Greta Astrup and SSHP members design program noted as Best Practice

Greta Astrup, a pharmacy student in the class of 2015, led a group of UNE Student Society of Health-System Pharmacy (SSHP) members in the design of a program that was selected by the Pharmacy Student Forum’s Student Society Development Advisory Group as an example of SSHP Best Practices.

SSHP members have unique opportunities to share expertise with students from other universities and colleges through a resource called Share and Reapply. This tool, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) website, provides “ideas and projects that have been implemented by student societies on their campuses along with steps to follow to reapply the program” on other campuses.

Astrup’s project, "Establishing an Interprofessional Collaboration Between Graduate Students of Various Disciplines," is published online at the ASHP website.
