NJSHP at Career Day 2004

Members of the student chapter and board represented NJSHP at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy’s Career Day, held on Tuesday, February 24, 2004, at the Student Center on Busch Campus. The event was an excellent forum to meet with future professionals to discuss the advantages of becoming student members and NJSHP members at the conclusion of graduation. NJSHP is pleased about the number of students who joined/ rejoined the student chapter. Also, thanks to the officers of the student chapter for scheduling programs and events in the community which help define the pharmacy profession.

A Tungsten Palm Pilot was raffled off after the program and the lucky winner was Ms. Christine Malati.

Correction Noted

Please note there was an error in the recent NJSHP Winter 2004 Bulletin under Mitch’s Sobel’s article, NJSHP Call for New Members. As per new regulations licensees are required to obtain at least 10 CE credits through didactic instruction per biennial license renewal; not 10 live continuing education credits per year as we noted erroneously. This error has been corrected on the newsletter on www.njshp.org. NJSHP thanks Donald Winters for calling attention to this error.
