CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Nearly 350 students submitted applications to Marshall University's new school of pharmacy by Thursday's deadline, said Dr. Kevin Yingling, dean of the school of pharmacy. "We've extended 35 acceptance announcements so far," said Yingling, who said the majority of applicants hailed from West Virginia, southeastern Ohio and Kentucky. "We are well on our way of interviewing and vetting applicants." Marshall's Board of Governors approved plans for the Huntington-based public school to open a new pharmacy school in December 2009. Pending approval by a national accrediting body, Marshall will join West Virginia University and the University of Charleston as the third pharmacy program in the state. School officials plan to enroll 80 students this year and classes are expected to commence in the fall. Thursday marked the application deadline, but Yingling said he expects a few late submissions in the upcoming days. In early February, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education granted Marshall an on-site evaluation in May for its pharmacy program -- a big step in the school netting national accreditation. The same accrediting council had refused an on-site evaluation in June, but school officials said in October they were fast-tracking improvements to the program to re-apply. … Continue reading →

The medication mix-up is raising concerns about how people can protect themselves when placing a prescription.

But thats really serious, Jones told CBS 2s Hazel Sanchez on Thursday night. CVS pharmacy said its Chatham location may have given as many as 50 families the breast cancer fighting drug Tamoxifen, instead offluoride tablets, for children over the last 60 days. Im gonna think twice about doing my medications here. Ill tell you that, said customer Mike Riccone. Its pretty awful. To give kids that? Its scary actually. Its really scary, customer Christen Simmons said. CVS apologized for the mistake in a written statement and said: most of the families we have spoken to did not indicate that their children received any incorrect pills.

When the Senate voted last week to restore $3 million to USF's College of Pharmacy after proposing to slash its entire budget, many heralded it as a victory for USF. Yet Pharmacy Dean Kevin Sneed said the $3 million budget is still highly debilitating. "That would totally decimate everything we've been able to accomplish to this point," he said. "We're a brand new college starting out, trying to grow." The College of Pharmacy, established a year ago, was intended to be housed at USF Polytechnic. The Florida Legislature awarded $10 million last year for the construction of a Pharmacy building at the Lakeland campus and$6 million in recurring funds to start the program, which has 53 students. Yet when a conforming bill put forth by Sen. Evelyn Lynn, R-Ormond Beach, proposed to immediately sever Polytechnic from USF and create an independent12th university, the College of Pharmacy was returned to the USF System without the $6 million used to fund it. Senate Budget Committee Chairman and longtime Polytechnic separatist Sen. JD Alexander, R-Lake Wales, said during last week's Senate meeting that the $3 million would be "more than adequate" for the College. "A couple years ago, USF got the School of … Continue reading →

27-02-2012 09:07 Student awards play a vital role in the life of our Faculty, and accomplish two very important things -- first, they are a way for the Faculty to recognize outstanding student achievements and second, they provide valuable financial assistance to students in need which allows them to focus on their studies and helps them make ends meet. As undergraduate enrollment has doubled and graduate enrolment tripled, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of scholarships, bursaries and fellowships available to students. In order to make a pharmacy education a reality for students in financial need, the number and size of awards must increase significantly.
