What We Do
These are just a few highlights of our public service activities.
Operation Immunization
Operation Diabetes
SHARING Clinc
Operation Immunization is a program that involves student training in the administration of vaccines to adolescents and adults. Students participate in immunization clinics at area pharmacies and at The Nebraska Medical Center by administering vaccinations.
Operation Diabetes is an exciting program where students are trained to screen patients for high blood pressure and abnormal blood glucose levels. This program serves the greater Omaha area and reaches out to rural communities across the state. Students travel to rural sites to conduct patient screenings.
The SHARING Clinic gives patients in an underserved area access to quality health care. This clinic is operated by pharmacy students and medical students who actually provide to the patients! Pharmacy students and medical students team together to conduct physical exams and drug therapy evaluations.
