CSHP-PACIFIC

2023-2024 Executive Board

 

Message from the President:

 

I want to first address the question, WHY CSHP? As a pre-pharmacy student, I was under the impression that all pharmacists worked in the community. I really looked up to my sister who first started working in retail pharmacy at Walgreens. Little did I know that the field of pharmacy expanded far past this scope of practice. Thus, as a curious freshman in my pharmacy orientation class, amongst the long list of organizations, I learned about CSHP, California Society of Health-System Pharmacists. I wondered, what is a Health-System Pharmacist? From world health organization, health system is defined as quality service to all people, when and where they need them. Part of the long list of purposes for CSHP is to “advance professional practice, optimize patient outcomes, and improve the quality of patient care” These are things I wish to learn and accomplish within my years at University of the Pacific. This is the organization that I wanted to grow in and now its time for me to contribute back.

​

I hope to grow the biggest CSHP student chapter by building upon traditional events and creating new ones purposed for our own UOP student members. I hope that you and I won’t have to look up what a “health-system pharmacists” is anymore. Instead, we can be those to provide quality service to all people, when and where they need them.
