It feels like maybe Fall has finally arrived today, I hope everyone had a memorable summer! Let's take a look at what WMSHP has been up to recently.

Our White Caps game had great attendance again this year with 49 total people attending. We also elected Matt Hickson as our Resident-at-Large E-board member for the 2025-2026 year. Matt is completing his PGY1 residency at Corewell West. Please join me in welcoming him!

Just last month we met in Grand Rapids on Corwell's Campus to hear Maja Gibbons, PharmD, BCOP present on Updates in Supportive Care Managment for Cancer Patients. We have another CE coming this week in Kalamazoo at Main Street Pub to listen to Ben Pontefract PharmD, BCPS talk about Artificial Intelligence in Pharmacy.

We held our Residency Showcase last week and had a great time connecting programs with prospective candidates. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event a success—your energy and enthusiasm were truly appreciated.

Please be on the lookout for e-board nominations! If you or someone you know is interested in getting more involved with WMSHP, please send me an email for more details at procivj@gmail.com. Make sure to include is your name and a short 1-5 sentence summary of who you are for us to share with our voting members. The open positions will include 4 e-board positions, president elect, technician, and treasurer. 

Lastly, we are hosting 2 mock interviews, an in-person event on October 30th at Ferris’s Grand Rapids campus and a virtual event on November 6th. For further information on the mock interviews, please email pontefb@ferris.edu. We could use some volunteers, you know that would look nice on your CV!
