Script Your Future Public Service Announcement - Take the Pledge


Did you know that 3 out of 4 Americans with chronic health conditions don’t take their medications as directed? This can lead to hospital re-admissions and other complications which can easily be prevented.

Check out this public service announcement developed as part of the Script Your Future Medication Adherence Challenge with interdisciplinary UW Health Science students.

The Script Your Future campaign is intended to increase medication adherence by encouraging people to visit scriptyourfuture.org. At scriptyourfuture.org people can pledge to take their medications safely and effectively and find additional resources to improve their health. 

 

We would like to thank the IHI open school leadership team for their great enthusiasm and participation in this video in collaboration with UPPOW!!!

The Journey Begins for the Class of 2015

The UWSOP Class of 2015 started their four year journey at their week long orientation on Monday, September 19th. During this orientation students meet the each other and the faculty, learn more about the profession of pharmacy and have the opportunity hear about different experiences the UWSOP has in store for them.  At the Pharmers Market on Wednesday, September 21st at the Center of Urban Horticulture, the class of 2015 met upperclassmen who are leaders in the many professional organizations offered at our school. There they discussed the importance of getting involved in professional organizations and how participation in these organizations helps shape you to become a better practitioner.
