Our third year in a row of hosting this event for LIU Alumni (Long Island University) alums and students to mingle with our incredible community of board members Frank Sosnowski, David Y. Light, faculty, residents, and industry peers. Thank you to LIU Pharmacy Dr. Janna Roitman & Charles Rasberry and our NYC event partner, Kenny Yu and NYU Langone Health.

LIU Pharmacy and the LIU Brooklyn School of Nursing- Graduate Programs students participated in a unique high-fidelity simulation Interprofessional Education (IPE) program, enriched by the participation of Long Island University Performing Arts students.   Under the guidance of Dr. Janna Roitman and Dr. Yolima Vergara, students leveraged academic program learning while implementing the necessary communication and teamwork skills for a collaborative clinical care setting. Interprofessional Education (IPE) is proven to improve patient care outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and advance patient-centered care by promoting a team-based approach.   A special thanks go to Dr. Yuliana Toderika, Dr. Jennel Osborne, Dr. Olivia Funk, PharmD, and Dr. Vincent Muscarella, PharmD, RPh for their invaluable support in facilitating the IPE program and Mrs. Milena Ioselevich for organizing the IPE activity.

A special week of appreciation for those advancing pharmacy & public health #pharmacyweek2024

Strategies to implement cultural competency education in the curriculum remain non-standardized and vary between pharmacy colleges. Research published this month by LIU Pharmacy faculty - Nardine Karam, PharmD, Suzanna Gim, Rebecca Cope, PharmD, MPH, BCACP - in American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (AJPE) explores the perspectives of #PharmD students as they learn to provide patient care across diverse patient communities. #futureofpharmacy #patientcare #healthcareprofessionals Long Island University

In an era where pharmaceutical advancements are rapidly evolving rigorous independent testing of drug products is paramount to safeguarding public health and maintaining consumer trust. Faculty members at LIU Pharmacy —Dean Arash Dabestani and affiliate professor David Y. Light —led groundbreaking new research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. The study, co-authored with faculty from Yale University, found a substantial portion of topical benzoyl peroxide (BPO) acne and rosacea treatments currently on the market are unstable and contain unacceptably high levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen.

Always a pleasure welcoming LIU Alumni (Long Island University) back on campus. Akshay Talati, RPh inspired LIU Pharmacy future cosmetic scientists with passion for the industry and valuable career insights. We cannot thank you enough for the generosity of your time and look forward to our future conversations. #futureofpharmacy

LIU Pharmacy students provided blood pressure testing and information to 500+ attendees at the inaugural NYC Department for the Aging “Healthy Aging Fair” in UES Manhattan, NY. Experiential education in geriatric care prepares future pharmacists for complex healthcare interventions and can spark a career interest in care for older adults.   "It's a great opportunity for our students to familiarize themselves with this rapidly growing patient population in a community setting. This type of hands-on experience will be key to their future professional success and will positively impact patient outcomes in our ever-changing world.” Dr. Brooke Fidler-Markowitz.   Earlier this year LIU Pharmacy students had another taste of interprofessional collaboration with NYC Department for the Aging through presenting health webinars to patients in their native Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese languages.
