Meg Black and Sonja Lapinski
A couple months ago, Meg Black, a 2011 PharmD candidate sent out a plea for a veterinary student who would be willing to collaborate on a presentation at the College of Pharmacy on pet prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Sonja Lapinski, class of 2011, emailed her a couple weeks later to see if anyone had taken the bait. No one had, so Sonja ended up volunteering to help her out.
“We held a talk, which was open to both colleges, on October 28 in the pharmacy building,” commented Sonja. ” It was well attended, and people asked great questions. A handful of vet students even made it over, in spite of a competing talk about internships and residencies. Dr. Terry Crowder, the veterinary teaching hospital’s veterinary pharmacist, was in attendance as well. He helped answer questions and provided much needed moral support. Both Meg and I look forward to hearing about further collaborations between our professional programs—we believe there is so much we can learn from each other!”
