Here we are at the start of yet another school year! My name is Erica and I am the current Chair of Operation Diabetes at UMB (University of Maryland, Baltimore). I am very excited to be starting my 3rd year of Pharmacy School and continue working with other students and our community to spread awareness about Diabetes!
Check out the new Operation Diabetes Logo:
Some of our plans for the year include working with the local Hispanic population through our participation at health fairs, creating a video to teach others about diabetes in a fun and understandable way, continuing to develop MOD- the persona of this blog!, fundraising for the American Diabetes Association through our participation in Step Out for Diabetes, and organizing a diabetes-focused, multidisciplinary health fair with other UMB professional students!
The best way to tackle these goals will be to involve others. I am happy to have dedicated Co-Chairs at both the Baltimore and Shady Grove campuses and hope we can involve many other APhA-ASP members in our committee and upcoming events.
Cheers! <3 MOD
