We were honored to welcome Michigan Pharmacists Association CEO Mark Glasper to Merriman Drugs for his follow-up Shingrix and RSV vaccinations.
One of the most rewarding parts of independent pharmacy practice is mentoring the next generation of pharmacists. A special thank you to Christina Pippis, University of Michigan College of Pharmacy P4 student pharmacist, for confidently administering these vaccines and demonstrating the professionalism, clinical skills, and compassion that make our future bright.
At Merriman Drugs, we are proud to serve our community while helping train student pharmacists from schools across the country. Experiences like this showcase the important role pharmacists, students, and technicians play in preventive care and public health every day.
Thank you to Mark Glasper and the Michigan Pharmacists Association for their continued advocacy, leadership, and support of Michigan pharmacists and independent community pharmacies.
It’s always exciting to see student pharmacists grow into confident healthcare professionals, and I couldn’t be prouder of Christina’s work during her APPE rotation with us.
Where’s Mark?
Getting my follow-up shingles and RSV vaccinations at MPA Executive Board member Hanadi Thomas’ Merriman Drugs in Livonia. Thanks to Christina Pippis, University of Michigan P4 student pharmacist, for administering the vaccinations. So great seeing our student pharmacists in action!
