Fifteen PharmD students spent their fall break in Athens, Ohio, providing community outreach, volunteering at community pharmacies and learning about rural health care.🍂

The trip capped off the college's first Rural Appalachian Pharmacy-Service Learning (RAPS) course, during which students learned about the cultural and clinical background of Appalachian Ohio, developed meaningful initiatives to improve care and explored professional opportunities available to pharmacists in rural areas.

On the trip, the students visited:
🌳 Rising Suns Non-Profit Pharmacy
🌳 Shrivers Pharmacy
🌳 O’Bleness Hospital
🌳 Appalachian Behavioral Health
🌳 Athens County Public Libraries

Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible! It was an incredible learning experience and a wonderful opportunity to connect with our partners and community members in southeast Ohio! We can't wait for next year's course.
