My name is David Tjhio, and I received my B.S. in Pharmacy from CCP in 1998, followed by my Pharm.D. from CCP in 1999. My journey from pharmacy school to the present has been anything but conventional, and I credit my years at CCP with building an educational foundation that has helped me to succeed as my professional career has evolved along an atypical pathway.
One of the things that initially attracted me to pharmacy was the option of many different career opportunities that were possible with a pharmacy degree. While I had been leaning toward a hospital focus, my curiosity led me to explore less traditional career options. So I pursued elective classes, completed non-traditional rotations, and conducted research in the Microbiology department at Midwestern University. These experiences gave me the exposure I desired to explore different areas and narrow down my career pathway. Use your time at CCP as an opportunity to learn as much as possible, try to make the most of your education. You won't necessarily use everything that you learn, but maximizing your exposure to different areas can potentially open your career choices to options you hadn't considered before.
One of the unique experiences that I benefitted from at CCP was our assignment into groups. These groups forced us to interact with others in our class that we may not have otherwise worked with and prepared us to learn to collaborate with different people from different backgrounds who are all working toward the same goals. Since graduation from CCP, I've been able to utilize this experience to help me with interactions in my professional life.
The first was when I completed a Pharmacy Practice (PGY-1) residency at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. During my residency, I went on clinical rounds with resident and attending physicians, nurses, and other clinical staff that were responsible for the care of the patient. After my residency, I stayed on at Advocate and served as manager of our corporate pharmacy informatics team where I had to bridge the gap between clinical and IT staff. In that role, I interacted on a daily basis with other clinical informaticists, IT analysts, pharmacists, project management consultants, and finance analysts.
Over the last 9+ years, I've worked for Cerner Corporation, a healthcare IT company based in Kansas City, Missouri. In my current role as Healthcare Executive, I travel around the country and work with a variety of clinicians, solution designers, sales associates, business developers and others internally as well as with clinicians and IT executives and analysts on the client side. I work closely with our sales team in our DeviceWorks organization with a focus on device connectivity and optimizing clinical workflow. The collaborative team approach I learned at CCP has enabled my success in a career pathway I knew nothing about in pharmacy school.
Finally, I would urge everyone to be involved in professional and social organizations during pharmacy school. I was involved with ASHP and ICHP early on during pharmacy school and currently sit on a Section Advisory Group within the Section on Pharmacy Informatics and Technology for ASHP and have also served as the Technology Chair for ICHP since 2001. Networking is a key to career growth and success, and being involved in different organizations helps to expand your networking opportunities and create invaluable professional relationships.
In my almost 17 years as a pharmacist, I've seen healthcare evolve to become more collaborative, as paper charts are replaced with electronic medical records and technology is used to improve patient outcomes. I've seen the role of the pharmacist move from a distributive focus to a more clinical focus, both on the inpatient, as well as the outpatient side. Maximize the learning opportunities that CCP provides for you, so that you can be agile enough to take advantage of new career opportunities as the profession and healthcare continue to evolve. Best of luck!
My name is Negin Kiyavash, Pharm.D. I am a graduate of CCP, class of 2004. I can't believe it has been 10 years since I graduated from CCP. Currently, I am working at Alexian Brothers Medical Center as the Pharmacy Operations Manager. I have been in this role since 2012.
In this position, I am in charge of the Pharmacy Department, which includes day-to-day operations, inventory management, staffing, and schedules. I also represent this department in various committees and initiatives. In my role, I am also the system administrator for Pyxis® technology products, as well as Swisslog BoxpickerTM automated pharmacy storage system. In addition, I represent the department during Joint Commission surveys, and any other regulatory inspections and certifications by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), CDC, etc.
As of last year, I have also started pursuing my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Roosevelt University, and I attend their weekend program.
When I started pharmacy school in 2000, I had no idea where my career path was going to take me. Like many of you, I was going to school and working as a pharmacy technician in a retail store during evenings and weekends. I was part of the last class at Midwestern that had the option of graduating with Bachelor's degree after our third year and a Pharm.D. degree after our fourth year. After graduating in 2004, I tried a number of different pharmacy positions: I worked in retail, mail-order, and long-term care before I started my first hospital management job in 2007.
Pharmacy school taught me the basic knowledge to obtain a pharmacy license and graduate as a pharmacist. But that wasn't the most important thing I gained from pharmacy school. CCP prepared me to take on new roles and responsibilities with confidence and to overcome obstacles. I made sure I took rotations in settings where I was least familiar, so I could learn as much as I could from my preceptors and experiences.
Change is part of our world and healthcare today. As students, you can prepare to manage change by learning as much as you can while you're at school and on rotations. That helped me tremendously and guided me in my career path and to achieve my goals.
I wish you all a wonderful experience at CCP and the best of luck in your future career paths as pharmacists.
My name is Eva Agaiby, and I am a graduate of the Chicago College of Pharmacy Class of 1997. I was delighted to have the opportunity recently to visit your new and improved campus. CCP is offering many opportunities to students to cultivate the educational experience.
I began working in the field of clinical research as a clinical coordinator 14 years ago. In my current position, I oversee Clinical Investigations Specialists Inc. (CIS) as President and Director. This is a niche area in the pharmaceutical world that not many people are aware of. CIS contracts with pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, to conduct phase I - IV clinical trials. The CIS multispecialty group of healthcare professionals, ranging from family practice to cardiology physicians and pharmacists, serves as research investigator to assist in bringing new medications to the market.
In addition to interfacing with key executives in the pharmaceutical industry, I enjoy seeing patients on a regular basis and assisting them by offering the newest treatment options that are not yet available in the public market. In some respects, clinical research is similar to ambulatory care clinics. The clinical assessments that are made on a daily basis are predicated on a sound academic foundation that I am thankful to have received at Midwestern University. I learned so much; from pathophysiology of disease states, to professional business work ethics, and applying knowledge in a clinical setting at my rotations and residency sites.
It has been extremely rewarding to witness the improvements in patients' health conditions when they initially present with uncontrolled diabetes or pain that is refractory to conventional medications that are on the market. We can offer them cutting-edge treatment options.
I define pharmacy as a recession-proof profession that offers a plethora of diverse career opportunities. The world of clinical research alone offers many options to branch out into the corporate pharmaceutical industry or into the regulatory affairs arena, such as the FDA. I encourage students to pursue residency training if possible, as this offers pivotal exposure that will catapult skills to a different level.
Whichever career path you choose, know that with each step of success there may be a challenge that will help mold your character. I believe there is a paradigm shift that is forthcoming in the pharmacy sector that will grant pharmacists more autonomy to make more impactful decisions, which will affect patients and the entire healthcare market. So, as we make our presence more known in the community, and across the nation, it is important that you remember your oath as a healthcare professional, from the day you graduate and continue to uphold your duty as pharmacists, throughout your entire careers.
There's an old saying that there are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. My name is Tolu Akinwale, and my time at the Chicago College of Pharmacy (CCP Class of 2013) inspired me to be an agent of change for the profession of pharmacy.
Pharmacists are among the most underutilized healthcare professionals, but there are many tailwinds that will position the role of the pharmacist as a frontline healthcare provider. I have the honor of working for an innovative company that is putting the pharmacist front and center in this healthcare transformation: Walgreens. I am currently the Manager for Electronic Prescribing at Walgreen's corporate office in Deerfield, IL. In this role, my responsibilities are at the intersection of healthcare information technology and pharmacy practice. My day-to-day duties include the management and support of our e-prescribing platform to meet technical and regulatory standards, and the improvement of its functionality to further enhance the patient experience.
My pharmacy journey started as an aspirational goal when I was in Nigeria, and eventually lead to CCP. Once I was accepted into the program, I enjoyed the overwhelming support of dedicated faculty and mentors that passionately delivered the learning experience using modern technology in a comfortable environment, thereby enabling me to focus on learning and personal development. Additionally, CCP offered many opportunities for professional development through the various campus organizations and other extracurricular activities.
As I look back at how far I've come, I am very grateful for my time at CCP because of the lifelong relationships I have built, the lessons learned, and the opportunities that have risen as a result. Concepts such as teamwork, professionalism, and the power of networking were impressed upon us at every opportunity, and their importance couldn't be more glaring once I stepped into the real world. Another thing I learned is that being able to complete a rigorous Pharm.D. program and obtain pharmacy licensure is a baseline in the profession and a good thing indeed; however, the additional and sometimes non-traditional experiences are what really make you stand out.
As a student with an interest in unique career pathways, I appreciated the periodic communication from the Dean's office regarding non-traditional learning and scholarship opportunities available to students, as these were critical in shaping my pharmacy career path. To cite a few examples, some of these communications led to my application and completion of a prestigious summer internship with Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Pharmacovigilance, and a yearlong executive fellowship with the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Foundation that focused on public health and patient care research. The latter was a life-changing opportunity that allowed me to impact the profession at the national level early in my career.
If I had to pass on pearls, I would tell aspiring pharmacists to be curious and step outside of their comfort zone. Learn all you can while in pharmacy school and never discount any experience or opportunities. Pharmacy is a very small world, but it is also a very rewarding profession with diverse opportunities upon graduation. I would also encourage students to identify ways to have fun while at it and identify how to maintain a balance to stay the course.
While I have been curious and expanded my professional horizons, I have stayed true to what drew me to the pharmacy profession in the first place - the patient. Therefore, while I may not currently provide patient care directly, I am happy knowing that what I do enhances patient safety across the country and allows tens of thousands of Walgreens pharmacists to have more time to deliver excellent patient care and make people live, get better, and stay well. Without a doubt, CCP prepared me well for this role, and to be an agent of change for the profession of pharmacy!
My name is Bola Akinlawon, and I graduated from the Chicago College of Pharmacy with the class of 2006. Prior to gaining admission to Midwestern, I knew that I enjoyed helping people from all walks of life. While I was a student at CCP, I worked as a pharmacy intern. When I graduated, I continued working as a staff pharmacist; then in 2009 I started working as an overnight pharmacist at Walgreens.
People often inquire about my duties as an overnight pharmacist. In addition to all the services provided in a retail pharmacy, a great number of patients have a need for medications that are not pharmaceutically available, or are temporarily unavailable. Examples include compounding Progesterone suppositories, Testosterone capsules, and Enalapril suspension, especially for the pediatric population. The overnight pharmacist will compound such medications tailored specifically to the needs of the patient.
When I started pharmacy school in 2002, I wasn't sure whether I was going to work as a pharmacist in a hospital setting or as a community pharmacist. I had volunteered in both, and I had acquired a good understanding of what to expect from each practice setting. I still had no clue as to which direction or career path to take. Thankfully, the variety of coursework at CCP prepared me for my current job.
As I look back on those experiences at Midwestern that contributed to shaping my career path, I must say that I was very fortunate to have had incredibly amazing teachers, preceptors, and mentors that willingly offered good advice.
What I have learned is that networking is the key that opens the doors to a lot of opportunities. I hope that this blog entry will help to encourage current students to take advantage of all the opportunities they have in order to explore the various niches of pharmacy.
Thank you for stopping by this blog series, All Things Pharmacy. My name is Laura Licari, and I graduated from CCP in 2006. If you attended the last month's Alumni Networking Breakfast, then hopefully we had a chance to meet in person. Coming back to campus and participating in student events is just one of many activities that keep me excited about our profession. I enjoy meeting other practitioners and learning about the many avenues of pharmacy practice. I currently practice at CVS Caremark as a Clinical Advisor. I help Caremark clients implement our clinical programs and manage their pharmacy spend.
During my four years at CCP, I didn't understand and therefore didn't participate in all of the opportunities available for professional growth. I worked part-time as a pharmacy intern at Osco Pharmacy, as well as for the Illinois Eye Bank, a non-for-profit that procures corneal tissue for transplantation. During school I lived at home, and I didn't understand that being more involved would satisfy my sense of community and enthusiasm for pharmacy. I was co-chair of APhA-ASP Operation: Diabetes program, and learned a lot about managing community glucose screenings. In 2005, I attended APhA's annual meeting, which was a great experience to network with other pharmacy students.
However, I never attended an IPhA annual meeting until 2010. I never attended a meeting of a local pharmacy chapter until I joined North Suburban Pharmacists Association (NSP) in 2011. I never attended the IPhA/ICHP-sponsored Legislative Day until 2012. Even with MWU and specifically Dr. Cornell encouraging me to become more involved, I felt I 'couldn't' make the time, rather than seeing that I 'wouldn't' make the time.
In retrospect, I can see that CCP provided the opportunities and networks to prepare me for a very successful career in pharmacy. I am now on the Board of Directors for IPhA (since 2010), the Board of Directors for NSP (since 2012), and next year will be my third year attending both the APhA and IPhA annual conferences.
I know it feels like a struggle just to meet academic deadlines, I honestly remember all too well. But I can tell you that making time to be more involved in campus activities, joining the e-board of an association or attending professional networking events will help you feel connected to why you're working so hard towards that Pharm.D. I wish I could go back in time and tell that to myself in 2002.
Good luck to all of you. Remember, your job is what you do, your profession is who you are.
My name is Chase Williams, and I am a graduate of the CCP Class of 2006. I am a Senior Pharmacy Specialist at Sanofi US, a global leader in the healthcare industry. I have the privilege of working on a new team dedicated to providing clinical education and resources to pharmacists and other key members of the healthcare team. Our focus is on diabetes and immunizations, and I partner with other pharmacists to identify initiatives that will help improve the lives and health of patients with diabetes. Currently, I also attend Loyola University Chicago where I will graduate with my masters in business administration this month.
After graduating from pharmacy school, I served in the United States Army for five years, where I served as an Officer. The decision to join was very difficult. I faced many challenges in the military, and the learning curve was steep. During this time, I held various positions including a deployment with a combat support hospital to Afghanistan in 2011. Just prior to working at Sanofi US, I worked at both Walgreens and Walmart. Both were extremely rewarding experiences.
Midwestern University gave me the tools necessary to be a well-rounded pharmacist and a confident leader. While I was a pharmacy student, I served as Regent of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity and enjoyed the friendships I developed throughout my time at the University. The faculty at Midwestern are extremely dedicated to students and the profession of pharmacy, and I encourage you to utilize your time at the College to learn as much as possible.
My advice to you as you continue along your career path is to always take on opportunities that present themselves, especially the ones that take you out of your element. It's during these challenges that we grow most as individuals. Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Understand your weaknesses, and identify opportunities to help strengthen these. Whether it's public speaking, being a leader, or decision making, everyone has areas they feel need improvement. Don't be afraid to fail. If you don't fail then you are probably not utilizing your skill set to its maximum potential. Most importantly, always take time out to have fun. The friendships you will develop in school now will continue in one way or another throughout your career.
Little did I know that my part-time job in high school would lead me into the wonderful world of pharmacy! My name is Rinku Patel, and I graduated from CCP in 2002! I am a Founder and CEO of KloudScript, a company focused on providing business framework to independent retail pharmacies, so that pharmacists can provide face-to-face care for patients that are on high-cost, high-complexity, specialty medications. Previously, I was a Group Vice President responsible for business development at one of the most recognized independent specialty pharmacies in the country, Diplomat.
As I started to write this blog, I could not resist the urge to dig out my CCP yearbooks, pictures and even med-chem handouts upon which my dear friends had authored hilarious rhymes. It was like yesterday! I remember in my fourth year, as the graduation day came close, the realization of having to enter the "real world" hit me hard! Working in a retail pharmacy throughout college, I was aware of what "a day in a life of a retail pharmacist" was like. I was keenly focused on finding a job that satisfied my urge to do something "out of the box." Luckily, at one of the student networking events, I met someone that helped me get my first job as an IT pharmacist at Caremark. Since then, I have had the privilege to work with terrific colleagues and inspirational managers at Caremark and OptionCare. Although they mentored me in moving ahead, I truly believe that my strong foundation for future growth was built at CCP.
I was able to participate in many CCP activities ranging from student council to various professional organizations, and even take part in a summer research opportunity. In addition, the management classes, home-infusion elective, unique rotation experiences, many professors, preceptors, as well as the administrative team at CCP all contributed to my knowledge base. I also learned important skills of teamwork, time management, leadership, and even public speaking. All of which are crucial in my current role.
Upon graduation, I realized that the relationship with alma mater does not end on the day of graduation. I am able to stay connected to the College through the CCP Alumni Council and activities throughout the year that allow me to network. There is no doubt in my mind that pharmacy is a terrific profession, and that CCP is a fine institution. At the same time, what you get out of it is a function of the initiative and effort you put forth. Pharmacists are able to practice pharmacy in many ways, and their roles continue to evolve. Take the time to meet people in your profession that inspire you; try to build an ongoing dialogue them; ask them to mentor you. Networking is an everyday effort that requires giving as well as receiving. If you do connect with mentors that are kind enough to take the time out for you, then figure out ways to be resourceful to them as well. It will go a long way in getting a recommendation for a job that can put you on the path of our own inspiring journey! My best wishes to all of you.
My name is James Quach, and I am a graduate of the Chicago College of Pharmacy class of 2006. I have had the privilege of serving the Chicago area in pharmacy management roles at Walgreens and most recently with Walmart as a Market Health & Wellness Director. In this position, I am an operations leader for the northern Illinois area which is comprised of 13 pharmacies and 11 vision centers. My areas of responsibility include sales and profit, merchandising, compliance, patient care, asset protection, and human resources. I oversee 24 direct reports and work cooperatively with hundreds of others. Together as a team, this year we will achieve 100 million dollars in sales.
When I started pharmacy school in 2002, I knew that my heart was in community pharmacy with aspirations to advance in the corporate setting. As a student, I often asked myself "How will I get there?" and "What training or tools will I need to help me be a successful leader?" Much like building a house, every good architect must have all the necessary tools at their disposal. Through my experiences at Midwestern, I was able to take those valued lessons and put them in my tool box, so that one day I could apply what I learned from those past situations to make me a successful leader.
For me, it was the courses like Pharmacy Management that introduced me to the financial world of pharmacy operations. There was also the dynamics of working in groups on presentations and various projects that helped me build interpersonal communication skills that I use today as a leader. In our student group projects, we did not always agree on answers, or on how things should be done, but these interactions with my peers taught me to be more open to other ideas. These social experiences were valuable as they gave me the opportunity to learn by witnessing different personalities all working together to achieve the same common goals.
People often ask what I do as a Market Health & Wellness Director, and I tell them that I am in the business of leveraging talent. Yes, at the end of the day it is about quality patient outcomes, compliance, sales and profit, etc., but more importantly it is about leading people and leveraging what they do best, so that we can be successful in these other areas.
My role today has allowed me to stay connected to Midwestern students and faculty thru alumni events and career fairs as I represent Walmart. I enjoy sharing my life lessons and experiences that helped guide me to find my calling in pharmacy, and I hope those reading this blog will find theirs as well.
My name is Dawn Koselleck, and I have been working as a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) for Abbott Laboratories for six years. When I started with Abbott as an MSL, I was part of our cardiovascular/dyslipidemia team. Currently, I am in the immunology franchise. MSLs are a field-based group of M.D.'s, Ph.D.'s, and Pharm.D.'s, who support and discuss research projects, respond to unsolicited medical information, assist and support internal training and education, and attend scientific conferences. The primary role is to network, establish, and maintain relationships with key opinion leaders in the community and academic setting involved in research and education.
Prior to pharmacy school, I worked as a sales representative in the pharmaceutical industry. This gave me the opportunity to learn the industry and interact with the MSL team. I knew this was an area I wanted pursue after pharmacy school, but unfortunately, I did not fully understand the role or the requirements to become an MSL.
At the time I was in pharmacy school, there were not any classes or electives to assist me with gaining this understanding. Fortunately, during my ambulatory care rotation, I had an amazing preceptor who always inquired about the career options her students were considering, and if possible, she would help in any way she could. In my case, she was able set up a meeting for me with one of the MSLs that she worked with. During this meeting, the MSL discussed how she came about her career choice and helped me further understand the role of the MSL. In addition, she provided insight into how I could become a better candidate. This individual was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her role as an MSL. Having that similar passion in what I do is so important to me. She really inspired me to further pursue this career opportunity.
Being able to interpret research data and having a strong knowledge of research methods is so critical to my role. Fortunately, while in pharmacy school, I was also able to work on a diabetes research project with one of the faculty. This was an extremely valuable experience and provided me with knowledge about conducting research, as I was able to see first hand the challenges and intricacies involved.
I would also like to mention that there have been a number of pharmacy classes that have been very instrumental in helping me have a successful career as an MSL. To this day, I refer back to my notes from these classes:
As I look back on my experiences in pharmacy school that helped shape my career path, I must say I am fortunate to have had so many amazing teachers, preceptors, and mentors that were always willing to assist me and provide me with interesting opportunities. These individuals are truly there for the students' development, and students should use them whenever possible. In addition, students should always work to build their network. This is a key success factor for my role as an MSL. I would like to wish everyone the best of luck as they start thinking about their future career opportunities.
I can't believe it has been eight years since I graduated from Midwestern University's Chicago College of Pharmacy. If you asked me when I started pharmacy school where I would end up, I would have said retail without hesitation. Retail was the environment I was comfortable with; it was the reason why I decided to become a pharmacist. It wasn't until I was on rotation that I discovered I felt more at home in a hospital setting. My preceptors encouraged me to continue to cultivate my clinical skills by pursuing a residency. The next thing I knew, I was a PGY1 resident at Cardinal Health. My residency was the most challenging and rewarding year, and it helped me decide that clinical pharmacy management was the road I wanted to follow.
I currently work at Vista Health System in Waukegan, Illinois, as a Clinical Manager. It's a job that I truly love because of the variety of responsibilities, which include developing and refining clinical programs based on the needs of the patients and the hospital, formulary management, serving as a clinical resource for physicians and nurses, and precepting our PGY1 resident and fourth-year pharmacy students.
Aside from my management duties, I still enjoy counseling patients. I am the bariatric pharmacist on our multidisciplinary team that helps patients with their weight loss surgery from start to finish. My role on the team is comprehensive. I educate patients prior to surgery on which medications to avoid, how to take their medication after bariatric surgery, and monitor parameters for each medication. While our patients are in the hospital, I round with the surgeons, nurses and dietician initiating and adjusting medications based on the clinical status of the patient. I appreciate when patients call me with questions or just want to give me an update on their progress. It validates why pharmacy was the right career for me.
My rotation experiences and preceptors have guided me toward a fulfilling career as a clinical practitioner and manager, and I will forever be grateful to Midwestern University for my experiences. As students, don't be afraid to take advantage of the wide variety of rotations to select from and keep an open mind. You never know what might interest you. Hopefully you will find that area of pharmacy that keeps you going back for more!
In the short time since my graduation from Midwestern University's Chicago College of Pharmacy, I've quickly realized the value of the Pharm.D. degree. A pharmacist with the doctor of pharmacy degree has the opportunity to excel in a variety of paths: from independent, to chain retail, to specialized clinical applications.
Prior to applying to pharmacy school, I worked in an independent pharmacy in a rural community. As a pharmacy technician, I looked up to the proprietor, who was the quintessential picture of a pharmacist. This small town pharmacist knew his customers, their medical problems, and the names of all their grandchildren. This is how I wanted to practice pharmacy.
While in pharmacy school, I enjoyed working as an intern in a chain retail setting: first at Walgreens, then later at CVS. I learned about counseling patients, administering vaccines, and far more than I ever wanted to know about prescription drug insurance coverage. I learned how to work very quickly and efficiently. Although I still thought about opening my own pharmacy in the future, I planned on working at a community pharmacy for several years.
During pharmacy school I was active in Phi Delta Chi and APhA, where I learned about being an advocate for the pharmacy profession. I recognize that there is a need for ongoing legislation reform to continue to advance the profession, and I remain active in support of various initiatives.
Today, I am privileged to work as a clinical staff pharmacist for a home infusion company for a little more than three years now. Prior to entering pharmacy school, and throughout my pharmacy training, I had very little exposure to home care. Then I was presented with the opportunity to work for Critical Care Systems, and it sounded like a new and interesting challenge. I really enjoy my work with this company. It has given me the chance to get to know a select group of patients incredibly well, as I provide them with their medications week in and week out. It has allowed me to build that trusting patient-pharmacist relationship that I had aspired to. Frequently, I am the first person a patient calls with medical questions, even those beyond pharmaceutical concerns. I work closely with physicians to monitor labs, adjust doses, and formulate total parental nutrition. I am a part of a true health care team that includes intake, insurance, nursing, technicians, and delivery staff.
I hope that this blog entry will encourage current and perspective students to look at the true spectrum of pharmacy: to consider professional niches beyond retail pharmacy and investigate careers in some of these more specialized areas.
My name is Megan Corrigan, and I graduated from CCP in 2006. After earning my degree, I completed a PGY1 residency at Rush University Medical Center, followed by a PGY2 residency in Emergency Medicine at Detroit Receiving Hospital in Detroit, MI. I currently practice as an Emergency Medicine Clinical Pharmacist at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago. In addition, I am a board certified pharmacotherapy specialist, as well as a BLS and ACLS instructor. I am very involved not only with emergency services in the hospital, but also pre-hospital care and city-wide preparedness. I established these clinical services in emergency medicine at Illinois Masonic a little more than four years ago.
If you would have asked me while I was in pharmacy school if this is where I thought I would be after graduation, I would have definitely said no. I went into pharmacy school thinking I was going to work in retail pharmacy and not step foot in a hospital aside from my rotations. Boy, was I wrong! During school, we didn't have as many electives to choose from as students do today. I chose to take both a "Toxicology" elective and a "Drugs of Abuse" elective. During these classes, I began to realize that I really liked the acute side of treatment, but I still wasn't sure I wanted to do it full time.
As I started rotations, I chose a variety of rotations because I was still uncertain what I wanted to do with my career. I was realizing that retail wasn't for me, but I didn't know where to turn. I know some students think they know what they like and tailor their rotations to that specific area without trying anything new. But I am so glad that I chose the rotations that I did! I ended up driving all over the city every six weeks, but I learned more with each new rotation. The rotation that changed my view on my future plans was my elective rotation at the Cook County Jail. I rotated with pharmacists, physician assistants, and physicians. Seeing the acute and chronic care they provided to the inmates really opened my eyes. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to change the path of my career and become a more clinically-based practitioner. It wasn't until my first few rotations as a PGY1 that I realized I wanted to pursue a PGY2 in Emergency Medicine.
Additionally, I joined a few clubs in school. I worked a lot during school, too. One of my favorite clubs was the Geriatric Club. It was an inter-disciplinary club where we worked with CCOM students to enhance geriatric awareness and visit some of the geriatric patients in the Downers Grove community. I think this began to foster a lifelong relationship with physicians. I now work side-by-side with physicians every day as a well-respected member of the medical team. By experiencing interdisciplinary care early in my career, I now flourish working with all disciplines of medicine in the emergency department.
I can't say I remember everything I learned in pharmacy school. I know I have forgotten a lot since I graduated. I'm pretty sure that's normal. But the things I remember today are the ones that continue to impact my career on a daily basis. These are lifelong lessons about thinking outside the box, not being afraid to try something new, and about having mutual respect for everyone. These lessons have taken me far, and I know they will continue to guide the way I practice in the future. Without the solid base of knowledge and experiences that I gained in pharmacy school, I wouldn't be where I am. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Sixth Arrest in Anti-Racist Attack on Chicago Area Diners
A sixth man has been identified and arrested for his alleged involvement in a May 2012 attack by anti-racist activists on a group of white supremacists and white nationalists in a restaurant in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park.
Jason Richard Hammond, 28, of Chicago, faces state charges of armed violence, aggravated battery and mob action, Tinley Park Police Chief Steve Neubauer said following the suspect's arrest last Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In early January, five Indiana men, Alex Stuck, John S. Tucker and brothers Dylan, Cody and Jason Sutherlin, all members of the Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement, pleaded guilty to charges associated with the attack and received prison sentences ranging from 3 1/2 to six years. The case was detailed in the cover story of the current edition of the Intelligence Report. ( continue to full post… )

Oil prices rebound in Asian trade
SINGAPORE–Oil prices climbed in Asian trade Friday as following heavy losses in New York trade stoked by a rise in stockpiles and concerns about the global economy, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in April gained 37 cents to $93.21 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April added 61 cents to $114.14.
"It is possible that we do have the bargain hunters looking to pick up oil at these levels," said Jason Hughes, head of premium client management at IG Markets in Singapore.
Both contracts had tumbled more than $2 on Thursday in The United States as traders absorbed poor US jobs data, signs of weaker-than-expected US crude demand and a fall in eurozone business activity.
The US Labor Department said initial jobless claims rose to 362,000 in the week ending February 16, more than the analyst estimate of 358,000.
US crude inventories also rose by 4.1 million barrels in the week ending February 15, data released by the Department of Energy Thursday showed.
That was more than double market expectations for a gain of 1.7 million barrels, according to analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires.
An increase in crude inventories puts a downward pressure on oil prices.

2010 CommonWealth Games in Delhi!
Filed Under: Opinion, Sports | Posted: 05/14/2009 at 2:14AM
Comments | Region: India
The mega event is due to be held in the month of October next year; but only 40 % of the total preparation for the Games have been completed till now. An observation to this effect was made by the Common Wealth Games preparation review committee, which recently visited the sites where construction for CW Games 2010 is going on at present.
Going by the huge magnitude of the event that will take place with more than 10000 athletes vying for honors in various sports disciplines, It does look quite a mammoth task for the concerned agencies to prepare the remaining infrastructure for an event which is just 16 months away now.
The government however has allayed all such fears, saying that all the civic authorities and the environmental factors were taken into consideration before it started construction at the games site. But recent reports have also indicated that the private company which has been entrusted the task of constructing
This in fact raises serious doubts over the intention of the government; which seems quite intent on using the Yamuna's river Bed as another prime real estate property for itself. Indeed a pretty big cost that the people of

Report: Clippers interested in trading for Kevin Garnett
|02.03.13 at 3:08 pm ET
According to Sean Deveney of Sporting News, the Clippers have reached out to the Celtics about potentially acquiring Kevin Garnett.
Sources tell Sporting News that the #Clippers have contacted the #Celtics about Kevin Garnett. Offer would include Caron Butler and Beldsoe.
' Sean Deveney (@SeanDeveney) February 3, 2013
Garnett does have the right to waive the no-trade clause in his contract.
The two Clippers players mentioned in the report, Bledsoe and Butler, are each average approximately nine points per game. The Clips' point guard signed through the 2014-15 season (maxing out at just more than $3.75 million), while Butler's deal stretches until after the '13-14 campaign (paying him $8 million per season).

Today we welcome Ginger Garner, MPT, ATC, a well known educator in the subject of Medical Therapeutic Yoga. Ginger is founder of Professional Yoga Therapy (PYT), the first education program for Complementary and Alternative Medicine practice in medical therapeutic yoga in the US. Ginger is one of our more popular continuing education presenters. Here she explains why her Medical Therapeutic Yoga courses (offered through our catalog) are perfect for providing rehab professionals with additional treatment options for their patients.
Earning A Post-Graduate Certification in Yoga as Complementary and Integrative Medicine
Why Yoga? Why Now?
By Ginger Garner, MPT, ATC, PYT
Back in 2008, the editor in chief of Yoga Journal stated that yoga as medicine is the next �great wave for yoga.� More than ever, Americans are seeking out Complementary and Integrative Medicine in record numbers. In 2008 over 16.5 million Americans reported practicing yoga and almost half reported they did so to affect their health and well-being. Over 6 billion was spent on yoga and yoga products alone in 2008.
More recently, in 2012 Corroller et al cite the most common musculoskeletal injuries in yoga as tendinous lesions and fibrocartilaginous tears, including tears of the rotator cuff, acetabular labrum, Achilles, medial meniscus, glenoid labrum, and lumbar disc extrusion. Injuries are on the rise in yoga studios across the country, and you as the health care professional and therapist are ideally suited to be managing those injuries and more importantly, preventing them through evidence based prescription of yoga as medicine.
If you are not currently using yoga as medicine in your practice you are missing out on an incredibly powerful way to improve patient outcomes and simultaneously reduce your own stress level and �caregiver fatigue.� Today in PT in their July 23, 2012 issue reported that a minimum of 20% of your overall practice revenue generated should come from cash based services. Further, with the increase in yoga injuries being seen it is increasingly important that you as a health care professional know how to manage and prevent them.
Using Yoga in Medicine
Using yoga as medicine carries enormous power to improve patient satisfaction, reduce overhead costs, and generate new sources of income. But most important, using yoga as Complementary and Integrative Medicine allows you break free from the medical model of clinician as �healer� and instead, shift the paradigm of health and well-being to a preventive model, empowering your patient to take responsibility for their health.
Medical Therapeutic Yoga Prescription
Medical Therapeutic Yoga, or MTY, is a form of yoga practiced and prescribed by licensed health care professionals and their assistants for clinical application and public health education. Yoga, when practiced by licensed therapists, can be billed in the insurance system with success, as well as used outside of the insurance system in development of cash-based programming. Further, Medicare is now covering yoga for cardiovascular health, with details that will be forthcoming throughout 2012 and beyond.
Prescription of yoga can be safe and effective for patient evaluation and intervention through evolving yoga by applying the current evidence base.� Recalibration of the postures and breathwork considering current research in medicine and rehabilitation has led to the development of the PYT Method.� Standardized over a 15 year period, the method is based on 15 Precepts, 4 Biomechanical, and 7 Physiological principles encased in a biopsychosocial model of assessment. The 15 Module Certificate Program are accredited through State licensing boards, and its coursework is approved for both CE and CME.
The Priority: Patient Safety & Clinical Excellence
Safety for your patients and clients, especially when you are a medical professional legally bound to your patients and clients, should be the top concern. Prescribing yoga as medicine is not currently taught or regulated in the US except through the educational standards provided through the PYT program. As a charter member school of The International Association of Yoga Therapists, the program is well respected as the oldest program that teaches prescription of yoga at a post-graduate level and is one that holds the highest prerequisites and educational standards in the profession. The program is open to licensed medical professionals and their assistants in order to be taught at a level commensurate with your education in medicine and therapy.
Distance Based Learning for Your Convenience – On-Site Learning for Critical Application
Didactic education is also imperative in learning to use yoga as medicine. Just as your education in medicine or therapy required both academic coursework and experiential clinical education, yoga is the same. The academic coursework is offered online so you can minimize time away from home for the clinical labwork. Like other professions, some of the most valuable learning in the medical yoga program is done in a hands-on lab setting through Modules 8, 14, and 15.
Post-Graduate Certification in Medical Therapeutic Yoga Prescription
It's now easier than ever to learn how to prescribe yoga in therapy through earning your Professional Yoga Therapist Certification (PYT). The distance based learning that HomeCEUConnection.com affords you as a clinician allows you to earn both CE�s and work toward completing your PYT Certification in medical therapeutic yoga, equipping you to teach and prescribe yoga that is safe and effective. Stand-alone evidence based continuing medical education courses that mesh with the busy clinician�s lifestyle. These PYT courses can be taken in ANY ORDER and AT YOUR OWN PACE:
- Medical Therapeutic Yoga (Modules 1-7)
- Medical Therapeutic Yoga Orthopaedic series (Modules 10.1-10.12):
- �Yoga Journal releases 2008 �Yoga in America� market study.� February 26, 2008.

Kanye West scuffles with paparazzi at LA airport
More News from Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Police are investigating a scuffle between rapper Kanye West and a cameraman at Los Angeles International Airport, where paparazzi are known to lurk in hopes of snapping shots of celebrities.
LAX Police Sgt. Steve Savala says numerous witnesses are being interviewed about the Friday afternoon incident to compile a report for detectives to investigate.
TMZ posted a video Friday of the alleged incident, showing West being thronged by cameras while trying to get into a white Mercedes Benz waiting curbside.
As flashbulbs illuminate his face, West accuses the paparazzi of trying to provoke him before lunging at the camera and trying to wrestle it away.
A police officer tells them to break it up before West is chauffeured away.

Babolat AeroProdrive to be released
Said to be released either 12/12/12 or 12/13/12
They really need to get rid of that stupid cortex strip. Don't they know we can just use a dampener if we don't want vibrations? If we do we can have the option of not using a dampener. Take note Babolat (cortex) and Wilson (BLX) stop making up technologies where there was no problem to begin with. I'm not even going to start with the B.S. Dunlop is trying to con us with, with the aeroskin technology. Some of this stuff is really getting stupid.
Dampeners are only for string vibration and have zero effect on the comfort of the racquet.
Cortex and other shaft/handle technologies are about reducing 'bad vibrations' being transmitted from hoop to hand.
To get rid of cortex all they would have to do is reduce the stiffness to around 65, but that would not be a stiff Babolat.
So the question is.... When are the Players going to debut the racquet??? Will Tsonga have it in London???
I'm only buying it if tsonga switches to this new cortex :)
I'm skeptical about aeroskin; but the Olympic runners (at least the US) had the "bumps" on their uniform. And have you ever tried hitting a golf ball that has no dimples?
I wish Cortex would go away too, but I have to say I think this is the best looking Aeropro PJ since the original. I hated the Aeropro Cortex PJ, and the GT one wasn't much better.
Is the paintjob finally all gloss, or does it still have some matte to it?
Hard to tell from the pic.
I have one right now I am playtesting. It feels solid now. The entire racquet is a matte finish. It lacks the babolat tinny feel and feels almost like a wilson. It is better in every way compared to the old one. The only downside I could see is that because it feels so solid now it does feel a little bit stiffer when you first pick it up

So easy, fast, and delicious! I used about 21 oz of meat for 3 people, but made the relish as listed on the recipe, and I liked the ratio. I broiled the chicken for the same amount of time as it said for grilling. I sliced the chicken (because I had two big breasts), and served it over arugula. Perfect meal!
Faux fancy. If you want an absolutely company-worth meal in a short amount of time, this is the recipe. The relish is fabulous. I added some fresh basil and chives since they were right next to my mint in the garden. Fantastic.
Faux fancy. If you want an absolutely company-worth meal in a short amount of time, this is the recipe. The relish is fabulous. I added some fresh basil and chives since they were right next to my mint in the garden. Fantastic.
Simple, delicious and healthy! I used all of the relish for just two chicken breasts so you may want to consider doubling the relish. It's that good - you'll probably want more.
Easy, health and gotta love the relish. Made exactly as written. Only change would be to make more of the relish, cause that's what makes it!
Really good - really easy! I used thin sliced chicken breasts and marinated them in a plastic bag for 4 hours with a store bought creamy balsalmic dressing. I added red onion and some chopped cucumber to the relish...I also used basil rather than mint. Tossed some arugula with olive oil and lemon juice and had a wonderful and easy meal!
I made this recipe for a few friends and everyone enjoyed it. I used basil instead of mint just my preference. The next time I try it I will marinade the chicken perhaps in similar ingredients found in the relish like the red wine vinegar, olive oil and garlic.
My husband and I loved this recipe, which I made with no changes. My surprise was that I liked the mint, not my favorite herb. But I had a planter of mint given as a gift and growing out of bounds, so I wanted to use some of it. Buttered noodles are a great accompaniment. The relish can go over both the noodles and the chicken and are great together. Served with a spinach salad for a very enjoyable dinner.
This dish is amazing. Super fresh flavors and extremely easy. We've made it several times not and it's always a hit.
We love this recipe, only I exchanged basil for the mint. It's so easy, and with garden tomatoes and the feta, it can't be beat.

Last Gasp
After dropping my family off at the bus stop after our first ride together - all four of us - on the motorcycle - I just had to have one last adventure so I continued on to Nueva Italia.
I arrived in the town and took the first dirt road to the right. I found out later that it was called Calle Primera - First Street.
It went on for a couple of kilometers and then started dropping toward the water.
Such confidence had I in my little bike that I just kept on going past the large group of scary teenagers and all the deep sand that made my bike wiggle. Then the road ended and the dirt changed colors. Little paths split off in several directions and I wondered "Do I take the road less traveled?"
Or do I take to the field?
Since the paths didn't go far, I took to the field. But I had to stop for this mansion. Three floors? Out here? I have to check that out!
But the water was calling me so I continued wandering along the field.
Then I hit the water so I turned off the bike and began to explore on foot. The swamp reminded me of The Lord of the Rings and The Sword of Shannara. I have always wanted to be one of the heroes who creeps along quietly, avoiding the deep water and battling the swamp monsters whose stories I heard from the ancients as a child.
No multi-limbed monsters arose from the swamp, just some guy with a machete. When I see a guy with a machete, I immediately think I'm in trouble. I saw a man in Harlem years ago threaten a neighbor by smacking the flat of his machete blade on the wall of his brownstone. The police showed up a bit later and had a conversation with him. Apparently he had done it before and he wasn't a real threat so they didn't take him away.
Anyway, after thinking that the swamp man is going to lop my head off, I reminded myself that machetes are common tools around here and that the man was no threat. We greeted each other and he asked if I wanted to drink terere with him.
Sure! We wandered over to his motorcycle and started to talk.

The NBA is starting in a week, so it is time for my fantasy rankings for this season. I will have a top 30 list for each position. Today I look at the small forwards.
Top 30 Small Forwards
1. Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City) – Durant is primes to win the MVP in my eyes. Last season Durant's numbers decrease in every major category, but don't worry his stat line is still one of the best in the game. Last season he averaged 27 .7 points pg, 6.8 rebounds pg, 2.7 assists pg, and 1.1 steals pg. Durant is also a great shooter; he made about 2 threes per game last season while shooting 88 % from the free throw line.
2.LeBron James (Miami) – Despite going to Miami last season too play with two other superstars his stats didn't dip that much. His stat line from last year : 26.7 points pg, 7.0 assists pg, 7.5 rebounds pg, and 1.6 steals pg. James only lost about 1 shot attempt per game with his move to Miami. James stats across the board should increase as he builds more chemistry with his teammates. Still needs to shoot the three better.
3. Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks) – Anthony got his wish last season as he was traded to the Knicks. Just like James and Durant Anthony can score the ball averaging 25.6 points per game. He also averaged 7.3 rebounds and2.9 assists. While playing with the Knicks last season Anthony had his most success shooting the three making 2 per game while shooting 42%.
4. Danny Granger (Indiana) – Granger's shot attempts per game dropped by 2.5 last season but still Granger is still atop the small forward rankings. He averaged 20.5 points pg, 5.4 rebounds pg, 2.6 assists pg, and 1.1 steals pg last season. Granger also made 2 threes per game while shooting a respectable 39 % from three. The Pacers have brought in David West, however I don't think this will hurt Granger's output.
5. Paul Pierce (Boston) – Despite being 34 years old Pierce shows no signs of slipping. His game and stats have been consistent. Last season his points, assists, and rebound numbers all increased. He average 18.9 PPG, 3.3 APG, 5.4 RPG, 1.0 SPG. Last season Pierce averaged 1.5 threes per game.
6. Rudy Gay (Memphis)
7.Gerald Wallace (Portland)
8. Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia
9. Dorell Wright (Golden State)

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
"Everyone settle down!" shout Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel. How's that for indie rock's latest rallying cry? Stay home, shack up, cuddle together, fall apart. You have nothing to lose but your heart and your place on the guest list. An old fantasy, of course, but revived by a generation determined to repeat the mistakes of history with gusto. Today's post-emo couples are more X than Yo La Tengo, wriggling and writhing from marital to martial before resigning to sing in their chains like the sea.
Quasi comparisons are inevitable when a couple forms a two-piece featuring keyboard and drums. But U-Kansas alums-turned-San Fran sweethearts Gardner and Hammel are not only way more chipper than Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss, they're also way more still married. But they pay for their happier reality with more imagined tumult in their music. The duo's second full-length finds them bantering back and forth in their own private language, emitting lyrics like "I form words that fit next to yours 'cause I know." Know what? How am I supposed to pick sides here?
But Mates of State's bickering is not embittering, and the circuslike melodies Gardner batters from her Yamaha are impossibly cheery but never ironic. You get the sense that Gardner and Hammel are not so much incapable of irony or even averse to irony: The bruised emotional staple just doesn't jibe with how they experience their highs and lows. And so they can name one quarrel "A Duel Will Settle This," even though there is no real settling hereabouts. "I know you're not playing around, but I know you will," begins one song, whose title recognizes the lonely dangers that await those not warmly ensconced in couplehood--"Halves and Have-Nots." As "never stay alone" becomes the pair's mantra on that song, suggesting that comfort matters more than romance, they seem to have discovered that there's no such thing as a happy ending. Which is not the same thing as saying there's no such thing as happiness.

Computer to TV, sound & video on both different channels

Re: Computer to TV, sound & video on both different channels
This is a longshot but try connecting the HDMI cable to the other socket (HDMI 2) and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise I think you may be out of luck.
The TV has a PC VGA input though and you could use that by getting a DVI to VGA connector (if your GFX card doesn't have a VGA output already) and there should be a dedicated sound input for that channel as well.
Lastly, you could take out your 9800GTX and sell it on ebay and buy another 9800GTX that has a HDMI output. You would then just need to connect the sound card on your PC to the graphics card and it will output the sound through the HDMI socket. This is a kinda long-winded fix for a small problem but if you think about it you could probably break even or it may cost you £10-15 max. Its just an idea you can think about if you can't find any other good solutions.

Figure 2.
Differentiation of control myoblasts to myotubes involved mostly increases in gene expression that were often diminished during FSHD myogenesis. This heat map of log2 expression values (see color key) for genes upregulated > 2-fold in control myotubes vs. myoblasts shows that many genes that were upregulated during normal myogenesis (red in first column) were downregulated in FSHD vs. control myotubes (green in the corresponding portion of the second column). A small fraction of these were also downregulated in FSHD vs. control myoblasts (green in the corresponding portion of the third column).

What is RSS?
Last updated at 22:39, Monday, 04 February 2008
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a service that delivers to you the latest news headlines, saving you the time and trouble of having to click from one area to another to get what you want.
For example, if you're a Carlisle United fan and all you want is to read the latest United headlines, you could use RSS to give you the Carlisle headlines.
How do I start using it?
First of all, you need a news reader. Though they all largely do the same thing, there are a lot of different ones available and you can either use them through your browser or via a downloadable application. They all allow you to subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Different readers work for different operating systems, so check that the one you choose is suitable before you download it.
Some different readers include:
- NewzCrawler
- FeedDemon
- Awasu
- Mac OS X
- Newsfire
- NetNews
- My Yahoo!
- NewsGator
Once you have decided on your reader, the next step is to decide what content you want. For example, if you want the latest news stories, visit the main news section and you will see an orange button on the left hand side.
By clicking on the button, you can subscribe to the feed in a number of different ways, including copying and pasting the URL directly into the news reader.
Some internet browsers, such as Firefox, Opera and Safari, can automatically get the latest RSS feeds for you. Check the appropriate website for more details.

But, the more times I go through this feeling and come out the other side, the more confidence I have that this thing can be done. If I can be on a deadline, have three kids, two of whom are usually crying and manage to not give in to a craving, anyone can do it.
I do this not drinking thing one day at a time and with a lot of help. But I don't have any fancy slogans to make it all better for anyone else who's doing it too. All I have is the truth. And the truth is that I am an alcoholic and I need to keep reminding myself of that.
When I posted on my blog last May that I had to stop drinking, I described a pattern in my drinking that had emerged in the last couple of years since my twins were born. My drinking did step up with the stress of having preemies. It had crossed a line into daily drinking and a feeling that after a glass or three I really didn't want to stop until I was completely out of it.
But as the months have passed without mama's feel-better juice, I've come to realize that that line had been moved back inch by inch long before I ever even crossed it. I've gotten a prescription for pain killers and plowed through them like a bag of chips on more than one occasion. I've driven drunk. I've gotten so drunk I puked repeatedly -- on a first date. I've done things I don't remember and don't care to remember. I've embarrassed myself and other people. I fell down the stairs at my in-laws house after coming home literally stumbling drunk. So don't let me paint a prettier picture of myself for you. Don't let me make you think that I just quit drinking because I had "a couple of glasses" of wine at night. Because that may be true, but it's not the whole story.
My name is Stefanie and I'm an alcoholic.

Our annual "Ride To The Wall" has become a very large and important event. More importantly the ride promotes involvement in the POW/MIA issue. Our group addresses and actively lobbies our congresspersons on issues that impact the future policies of the U.S. Government and U.S. Military. This directly relates to its handling of those servicemen and women that become missing or captured during a time of war.
The major function of Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is to publicize POW-MIA issues. To educate the public that many American Prisoners of War were left behind after all past wars and to help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become Prisoners of War-Missing In Action. We are also committed to helping American veterans from all wars.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our web site. The above mission statement tells you what Rolling Thunder® Indiana Chapter 1 is all about. Rolling Thunder® Indiana Chapter 1 is a group of American Citizens - Veterans and non-Veterans - that have a strong belief that there are still several unresolved Prisoner of WAR (POW) and Missing In Action (MIA) cases from all past wars that need to be fully investigated, especially Vietnam.
RTIN1 has several committees that are committed to helping the Chapter perform their POW-MIA mission. The Family Reference Samples (FRS) Committee is one that is near and dear to my heart. The FRS Committee searches for family members of unaccounted-for Indiana service members from our nation's past conflicts to let them know that the Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command (JPAC) is needing mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) samples to help confirm or exclude identification of remains. One of the Rolling Thunder® mission goals is 100% accountability of our POW-MIA's. The FRS program is one tool that can help us work towards achieving that goal. More detailed information on the FRS program is located on our web site located under Chapter Info > Committees > Family Reference Samples or URL http://www.indianarollingthunder.com/FRS.html.
RTIN1 supports our Indiana War-Fighters and Veterans through several ongoing projects and events throughout the year. One way RTIN1 supports the Indiana War-Fighter, is through the sales of the Indiana POW-MIA license plate. The funds collected from the sale of this license plate is deposited into the Indiana Military Family Trust Fund to give the Indiana National Guard, Reserve and active duty members and their families a helping hand when needed. Over $200,000 dollars has been deposited into the Indiana Military Family Trust Fund since the 2010 introduction of the Indiana POW-MIA plate. The Chapter makes annual visits to the VA Hospitals to visit the troops, partners with the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation (HVAF) to provide a Christmas meal to our homeless veterans, and participates in various rides throughout the year to provide financial aide to veteran organizations like HVAF.
The Chapter is very active with the POW-MIA mission and I hope that you will consider attending one of our Chapter meetings to see what we are all about. Please take a few minutes and browse through our web site for more information on our Chapter.
Again, thank you visiting our web site, and I hope to see you soon. Michael Clark Rolling Thunder®, Inc., Indiana Chapter 1 email@example.com
