PharmD Candidate Ashley Chase presented “Effect of anti-obesity agents on cardiovascular-related endpoint: A systemic review and meta-analysis” with guidance from faculty mentor, Dr. Jennifer Clements.

Dr. Katie Ellis, Assistant Professor, gave a continuing education presentation on “Consequences and Treatment of Opioid Abuse During Pregnancy.”

Additionally, PCSP students, faculty and alumni presented eight posters.

During the awards luncheon and officer installation ceremony, Jennifer Clements was inducted as president and Mary Douglass Smith as treasurer on the Executive Board of SCSHP.
