Jamie Shockley (P3 - Knoxville Campus) has accepted a position on the APhA-ASP Education Committee following the resignation of an initial appointee.

Jamie's past involvement in leadership positions, especially within APhA-ASP, and her enthusiastic dedication to the profession of pharmacy made our decision very easy! This committee's work has never been more important. With health care reform being a major agenda item for the Obama administration, demonstration of the high-quality care pharmacist's can provide is vital to our profession's inclusion within proposed legislation.

 The APhA-ASP Education Standing Committee's primary responsibility is to oversee all of the academy's professionalism and patient care efforts (i.e. Operation Immunization, Heartburn Awareness Challenge and Operation Diabetes). Her appointment is not uncharted territory for University of Tennessee COP student pharmacists. In the past five years, 2 national officers, 7 standing committee members and 4 regional officers have all hailed from UTCOP.
