Student Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group

SPPAG UCONN is an organization for pharmacy students (both pre-professional and professional students) interested in specializing in Pediatric Pharmacy. We would like to provide students with different service activities, rotation/shadow opportunities, and pediatric residency information. 

Currently, pediatric pharmacy isn't a well known field. We are here to help pharmacy students and others who are interested in promoting the importance of the specialization into pediatric care. Unlike adults, children need different levels of care throughout each stage of their lives. Reported adverse events, drug strength, dosing, and more are different in every child due to their difference in height, weight, age, etc. These difference between every child are crucial and pediatric pharmacists can be a strong improvement in a child's healthcare. 

Our closest assocation is CCMC, Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Donations collected by our club will be directed towards patients of CCMC or the association mentioned during the event.
