Alternative and Integrative Medicine Committee
We are a new committee that was created in 2011 to bridge a gap in our pharmacy curriculum and to prepare our pharmacy students better for their future careers as pharmacists. At community health fairs we educate the community about the safe use of supplements and proper labeling practices of alternative medicines. We also help educate the community on replacing salt with herbs and spices in the DASH diet. We look forward to enriching the education of pharmacy students through our new guest lecture series and workshops that focus on different topics in alternative medicine. Lastly, we currently work on a research project, in collaboration with Pacific faculty and experts in natural medicine, called the “Pacific List.” It is a list of natural products or dietary supplements to avoid using in the elderly that mimics the Beers Criteria commonly used in pharmacy practice.

Operation Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious lifelong disease that affects more than 16 million people in the U.S. alone. As pharmacists, we will be a major source of information and therefore, it is important to keep abreast on the latest developments on diabetes. The members of this committee volunteer at local health fairs, fundraise money for prevention and research, teach students the proper method of using blood glucose monitors, and invite guest speakers to keep students informed.

Operation Heartburn
Operation Heartburn is an active committee on campus, since nearly 60 million Americans get heartburn every month. The committee is involved in promoting heartburn awareness in the community through screenings and educational sessions in various venues. During the screenings, they do an initial assessment of the patient looking at diseases, drug allergies, medications as well as the frequency and severity of their heartburn symptoms. After making sure that their symptoms are, in fact, due to heartburn, they then recommend both pharmacologic therapy and lifestyle modifications.

Operation Immunization
Each year, over 60,000 Americans die of vaccine-preventable diseases. For every child who dies from a vaccine-preventable disease, 400 adults will die from vaccine-preventable diseases. To help address this issue, APhA-ASP has collaborated with the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) and the American Association Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APhA-APPM) to develop Operation Immunization: Pharmacy Students and Practitioners Protecting the Public Health. This committee strives to educate the public about the importance of vaccination as well as to promote implementation of immunization services in pharmacies by participating in flu clinics during the fall semester. The committee plans to immunize the Pacific athletic department, Pacific health science students, Pacific law students on the Sacramento McGeorge satellite campus, and Pacific undergraduates.

The Rotations Committee is responsible for gathering rotation site evaluations from the clerkship students. This committee gathers information regarding intern sites from students who have been working at those sites. The information is then compiled into a notebook and available to pharmacy students as a reference. The chair also invites 3rd year students back to campus to share their rotation site experiences with the 2nd year class as they prepare to select their own rotation sites.

VNCares
VN CARES (Vietnamese Cancer Awareness Research Education Society) is a committee comprised of pharmacy students, within Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy & Health Sciences University of the Pacific, committed to promote cancer awareness and provide health services to the Vietnamese community in the Stockton area. Our activities include recruitments, assist eligible women in receiving free breast and cervical cancer screenings, assist eligible men in receiving free prostate cancer screening, provide health screening services, and conduct educational seminars. We collaborate with committees within pharmacy school as well as other organizations such as VN CARES chapter at UC Davis, Boat People SOS, Paul Hom Asian Clinic, Health Education Council Breast Cancer Early Detection Program, etc. We hope to reduce the cancer-related disparities in the Vietnamese community, ensure that all Vietnamese individuals obtain skills and knowledge to maintain a cancer-reducing, healthy lifestyle, and participate in the planning and implementation of research activities designed to identify the health care needs of the Vietnamese community.
