Faculty and students from the WVU School of Pharmacy helped scouts earn their Health Care Professions Merit Badge, organized in collaboration with WVU Women in Science and Health (WISH) committee, which was offered for the first time in 2024.

Teaching Associate Professor Marina Galvez Peralta and Clinical Associate Professor Gretchen Garofoli served as merit badge counselor and advisor, respectively. They were assisted by six student pharmacists — Inez Behrens, Connor Combs, Tristan Connard, Mitchell Cushey, Hanna Jandrain and Tyler Trayter. Behrens, Cushey and Trayter are Eagle Scouts.

In this merit badge, scouts learned and experienced the role of different health care professions, such as how they collaborate with each other through hands-on activities and simulations. The health care professions included medicine, nursing (NP and RN), physician assistant, pharmacy, audiology, occupational and physical therapy, speech pathology, radiology, medical records, medical technology and histology and respiratory therapy.

Merit Badge University is sponsored by WVU and the Mountaineer Area Council of Scouting America.

On August 29, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS), announced the first 10 drugs covered under Medicare Part D selected for negotiation. The negotiations with participating drug companies will occur in 2023 and 2024, and any negotiated prices will become effective in 2026. Medicare enrollees taking the 10 drugs covered under Part D selected for negotiation paid a total of $3.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs in 2022 for these drugs.</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2023-09-07T14:33:18-04:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">cf410d5e-4a3c-4f56-badc-891a8e524d1e</guid><link>https://pharmacy.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=wvu-pharmacy-professor-elected-to-board-of-directors-oflargest-association-of-pharmacy-professionals</link><category></category><title>WVU Pharmacy Professor elected to Board of Directors of the largest association of pharmacy professionals in the U.S.</title><description>Dr. Douglas Slain, professor and chair of Clinical Pharmacy at the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy, has been elected to the American Society of Healthcare Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) Board of Directors.
