“It is an honor to be recognized by the national body in pharmacy that helps to advance health-systems pharmacy practice in our country. We are very grateful here at the WVU School of Pharmacy chapter to be backed by ASHP,” Ryan Fell, president of the WVU ASHP-SSHP chapter, said. “This official recognition of the WVU chapter reinforces the relationship between the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the ASHP state affiliate organization and the Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists.”
