NJSHP call for new members

By Mitch Sobel, R.Ph., Director of Organizational Affairs

  Our Society represents the interests of the health-system pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and supporters of pharmacy in the State of New Jersey. The board members volunteer their time and efforts to represent the views, the concerns, and the needs of the health-system pharmacist and pharmacy technicians before the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy, and the New Jersey legislature. The NJSHP strives to increase the public awareness of the role of the health-system pharmacist in the pharmaceutical care and treatment of patients within our communities. Our most recent success is the lobbying efforts used to help pass the Pharmacy Practice Act. This act will prove to be monumental with respect to how our profession practices pharmacy and cares for our patients.

The New Jersey Society of Health-System Pharmacists needs your support.

NJSHP needs our health-system pharmacy leaders to set the example of collaboration, education, and motivation for all pharmacy health-care providers. We need you to inspire others to join and explain the many benefits our Society offers. There are four chapters in the various geographical areas of the state for the convenience of attending the monthly meetings. In response to regulations requiring 5 live continuing education credits per year, NJSHP offers ACPE credits at no additional charge to our membership. Membership also includes midyear and annual meetings with CE credits, networking opportunities, and the prospect to share ideas with other health-system pharmacists throughout the state.

It is only with your participation and support that will lead others to help NJSHP grow and promote the profession of health-system pharmacy. Please log onto www.njshp.org or call Stella Williams, Administrative Director of NJSHP at (609) 936-2205 for information, answers to questions or for membership forms. If you have any questions please contact me at (973) 322-5136 or e-mail me at msobel@sbhcs.com.

Our greatest product is in our membership; our greatest asset is the involvement of your leadership and professionalism. Please join and inspire others to join today.
The Student Scene      Continued from previous page

donated their time to speak and answer all of our questions. The Dean of the school, Chairman and Vice-chairman of the Pharmacy Practice Department also voiced their praise for the program. I even received an email from a student who couldn’t attend asking when we are going to repeat this program.

Describing this event is not to illustrate how my officers and I can create a successful student-oriented program. It is to illustrate how the NJSHP student chapter is a student-run chapter. The NJSHP officers are proud to lead the organization and provide worthwhile events/activities for its members and the student body as a whole. But, as officers, we are not the organization; the members are the organization. They make (or break) the chapter. And presently, they are doing a great job!
