The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at St.
John’s University looks forward to the opportunity to salute
Pharmacists throughout the country through its observance of
American Pharmacists Month. According to the American Pharmacists
Association, the objectives for this month-long observance
include:
American Pharmacists Month
Objectives
- To recognize the vital contributions made by pharmacists to
health care in the United States
- To enhance the image of pharmacists as the medication experts
and an integral part of the health care team, not just dispensers
of medication
- To educate the public, policy makers, pharmacists, and other
health care professionals about the key role played by pharmacists
in reducing overall health care costs by improved medication use
and advanced patient care
- To stress the importance of Knowing Your Medicine and Knowing
Your Pharmacist to ensure drug therapy is as safe and effective as
possible.
Events
The events planned by the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences help to fulfill those objectives in various and
creative ways. Pharmacy students are invited to participate in all
