Happy National Pharmacy Week!

We LOVE our UNMC ID Pharmacists! This week is National Pharmacy Week and we want to share our appreciation and thanks for the hard work and invaluable contributions of our pharmacists at UNMC ID. Our pharmacists are not only exceptional clinicians giving us the clinical advice we need on antimicrobials and drug interactions, but they are also published national experts in Antimicrobial Stewardship and HIV, experienced educators in both the College of Pharmacy and College of Medicine, and phenomenal colleagues all-around. Our division would not function as well as it does without these individuals, and we do not thank them enough.
