The University of Pittsburgh won the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association’s 2015 Achieving Independence Competition during the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association’s (PPA) Annual Conference held at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg-Hershey on October 3rd, 2015. This competition is designed to foster the budding entrepreneurial pharmacy students to one day own their own pharmacy. Students are asked to start up a brand new pharmacy in Pennsylvania or purchase an existing pharmacy and implement something new. The team was made up of Dylan Atkinson, John Chang, Alexander Marshall, and Kerry Moore. Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy, Wilkes University, Duquesne University and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy also participated in the competition.
The team was honored with a cash prize for their student organization and a nice dinner out on the town!
