Eight URI College of Pharmacy students were awarded scholarships Thursday during the college’s 62nd annual Heber W. Youngken Jr. Pharmacy Clinic.
The conference at the Radisson Hotel in Warwick, named for the inaugural dean of the URI College of Pharmacy, brought together practicing pharmacists and pharmacy educators for a continuing education summit hosted by the College of Pharmacy and Academic Health Collaborative Continuing Professional Development division. This year’s annual clinic — “Who’s Calling the Shots? Vaccine Hesitancy and Patient Safety Initiatives” — focused on the importance of vaccinations to individual patients and the larger community.
The scholarship awards were presented to the students during a lunchtime ceremony. Scroll down for photos of each scholarship winner. The URI Pharm.D student winners include:
