Students from the UTHSC College of Pharmacy’s Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) have been awarded a $2,500 grant to assist with overdose prevention training among college students.
The grant comes from the national SNPhA Chapter and Walmart’s Prescription for Service Competition. The College of Pharmacy’s team included four P2 students: Kristina Leav, Michelle Murphy, Kate Noonan, and Rose Zeng. They produced a video and shared how they would use the grant money in partnership with local organizations to provide training, educational materials, and Narcan kits to help prevent opioid overdoses. Their team was chosen as one of five finalist teams and will compete for a $10,000 grand prize at the SNPhA National Convention this summer.
