On August 18, four third-year students showed off their self-care knowledge at the annual West Virginia Pharmacists Association meeting in Charleston. The team comprised of Lindsay Mason, Mai Do, Lucy Luo and Shaina Kopelov won the Student Pharmacist Self Care Championship. They competed against a team from Marshall University School of Pharmacy in a jeopardy style game. The students were challenged to identify and explain aspects of the effective and safe practice of pharmacy self-care treatments. In additiion, they were asked to identify at least two over-the-counter prescription medication interactions that pharmacists should be aware of, and list three OTC medications and their use.
