The annual faculty served breakfast marked the beginning of a 31

day celebration of the unique contribution the pharmacy profes-

sion brings to health care. With the theme “ Know your pharma-

cist, know your medication” the month of October is a time to

reiterate the benefits of a drug expert on the medical team. UMES

School of Pharmacy and its APhA-ASP chapter has a line up of

activities aimed at showing to our campus and community the

importance of talking to a pharmacist. As the American Pharma-

cists Association puts it, “student pharmacist, you should give

your campus a crash course on the importance of pharmacy”.
