University of Utah to Host Continuing Education Events with Chris Jerry of EJF

On behalf of the Emily Jerry Foundation, I’m incredibly honored to be speaking at the University of Utah‘s College of Pharmacy in November. These sessions will focus on patient and medication safety and will be open to students, faculty, staff, preceptors, and alumni. A heartfelt thank you to my friend, Dr. Krystal Moorman-Bishir, PharmD, BCPS, FASHP, for this wonderful opportunity.

I’ll be speaking to the P1 and P2 PharmD students, who are already demonstrating the leadership and commitment needed to shape the future of healthcare and prevent medication errors. Pharmacy students have always inspired me. They are our future leaders, the ones who will continuously champion medication safety and make it the highest priority across all healthcare modalities, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every patient.

I’m confident that through the leadership of these students, countless lives will be saved from preventable medication errors—errors like the one that tragically took my daughter Emily’s life in 2006. Their dedication and expertise will play a pivotal role in advancing patient safety and ultimately saving countless lives during the course of their careers!

In addition to the student lectures, I’m also grateful for the privilege of delivering two CE-accredited presentations and look forward to sharing insights and discussing best practices in patient and medication safety with this dynamic and dedicated group!
