The College of Pharmacy Cultural
Proficiency Committee has begun the planning for a special event that may well become an annual endeavor–the
2009 Diversity Forum. This year's forum will feature special guest Sharon L. Youmans, Pharm.D.,
M.P.H., associate dean for diversity, School of Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco.
The forum will be of interest to all our faculty, staff, and students as it will focus on pharmacy's role in addressing health disparities. This session will be styled as an open discussion where the thoughts, experiences, and opinions of all those in attendance promise to make for a lively and productive discussion.
Dr. Youmans will also conduct a smaller session on post-graduate training. This session will be primarily for those involved in post-graduate training and will focus on training at this level in light of an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
Both events will be free to all faculty, staff and students, but RSVP's will be requested for those who want to be included in the free boxed lunch offered.
Forum: Location PHR 3.106, 12 noon - 1:15p.m.
An open forum to discuss pharmacy's role in addressing health disparities in the
21st century. Come share your thoughts and opinions!
Post-graduate Session: Location PHR 3.110, 2 - 3p.m.
