Edward Schreiner BS (‘82) 

Graduating from the UConn School of Pharmacy in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, Edward remains committed to the School through his involvement. As an Emeritus Member of the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy Advisory Board, Edward offers support to the School in its commitment to education, research, and community service.   

A seasoned pharmacy executive with over four decades of experience, Edward’s expertise in pharmacy-based care delivery, regulatory compliance, and payor engagement has been honed by his current position as Vice President of Network Development at Northeast Pharmacy Service Corporation (NPSC) in Framingham, Massachusetts. In this role, Edward fosters relationships with pharmacy stakeholders, develops policies and procedures that NPSC’s participating pharmacies may require, and analyzes the community pharmacy landscape to advance innovation in the field.  

Edward’s early career roles included Staff Pharmacist at St. Francis Pharmacy and Stoll’s Prescription Center and a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Garment Fitter. Edward’s longest role was in Stoll’s Pharmacy, Inc. as a Corporation President and Pharmacy Manager. Combining his passion for pharmacy with his passion for leadership, Edward directed all aspects of retail pharmacy and developed pharmacist-led chronic disease management programs.  

When Edward is not sharpening his professionalism, he’s perfecting his leadership skills. As a Network Facilitator and Payor Engagement Specialist in the New England Chapter of Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Network (CPESN), Edward works to secure grant funded programs and supports network development in the organization. He’s also completed Clinically Integrated Network Training and participated in the Payor Engagement Learning Series through CPESN. 

Aside from Edward’s continued support of the School through his service on The UConn School of Pharmacy Advisory Board, he’s also a proud member of various professional organizations, including the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, Connecticut Pharmacists Association, and National Community Pharmacists Association.  

“Pharmacy is a vital profession that touches lives every day. It is far more than just a workplace where tasks are performed; It’s a calling to serve patients with purpose, compassion and expertise.”

Justine Dickson Pharm.D. (‘11) 

A graduate of the School in 2011, Justine completed her post-graduate training as a PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Resident at Yale New Haven Hospital – St. Raphael’s Campus. After this training, she pursued a PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Launching her career in ambulatory care, Justine currently serves as a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Ambulatory Care at Boston Medical Center. In this role, Justine focuses on the management of kidney transplant patients and leads a pharmacist-run anemia clinic for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). 

Winning several awards, including Preceptor of the Year in the Boston Medical Center (BMC) Pharmacy Residency Program (2024), the Be Exceptional Award from Boston Medical Center (2017), and the Lambda Kappa Sigma Distinguished Young Pharmacist Award (2018), Justine has excelled in roles of leadership and service. Most recently, Justine has been honored with the 2025 Tradition of Excellence Award, which she will receive at the Annual Alumni Awards on October 18th. 

Providing high value care and improving outcomes for a diverse patient population, Justine has made a remarkable impact at BMC, with a focus on navigating patients through the complexities of healthcare while honoring the ethnic, religious, and cultural differences of her patients. 

This success for Justine continues beyond BMC, where she has contributed significantly to the academic and professional pharmacy communities. She has co-authored multiple publications, given poster presentations across the United States, reviewed manuscripts for some of the leading pharmacy journals, been featured on podcasts, and, most recently presented twice at the National Kidney Foundation’s Spring Clinical Meeting, highlighting the impact that pharmacists can have in the continuity of care of patients from CKD through kidney transplantation as well as how a pharmacist-run anemia clinic can help close a gap in care and improve quality of life. 

“Be the kind of provider that you would want caring for your family member, friend, or yourself. When you lead with empathy and respect, you transform healthcare from a transaction to a human connection.”

Justine’s commitment to leadership and mentorship is most notable in her service to Lambda Kappa Sigma (LKS), a professional pharmacy fraternity focused on “elevating women in pharmacy.” She has served on the LKS Grand Council since 2020 as the current Grand Vice President for Collegiates in Lambda Kappa Sigma (LKS). In addition she serves as a preceptor to Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) pharmacy students from multiple schools of pharmacy, as well as PGY1 and PGY2 pharmacy residents. In 2014, Justine also founded the Resident Emotional Support Team (REST) at BMC to foster wellness and resiliency among pharmacy trainees and staff.
