We learned about “MRSA in the USA” at our March meeting in Kalamazoo.  A big “thank you” to Dr. Dean VanLoo, PharmD, for presenting. 

At our April meeting, we will continue the tradition of having pharmacy residents present their residency projects.  Two residents were selected by the WMSHP Board to present.  Congratulations to them!  The scheduled presenters and their project titles are listed below.      

• “Assessing the Use of a Standardized Order Set for Postoperative Pain Management in Total Arthroplasty Patients,” presented by Brittany Bowen, PharmD (Spectrum Health Medical Center).
• “Adjunctive Valproic Acid for the Treatment of ICU Delirium in Intensive Care Patients: A Retrospective Study,” Phuong Tran, PharmD (Bronson Methodist Hospital).

Until April 3rd, WMSHP will be accepting scholarship applications from eligible P3 students.  Please visit http://www.wmshp.net/scholarship/ for more information.
