Pharmacy students learn HIV fundamentals

In the first of its kind lecture series, the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) at Belmont University College of Pharmacy recently sponsored a seminar entitled “HIV 101″ in partnership with the non-profit organization Nashville Cares.  The seminar was attended by 80 pharmacy students and faculty.  “Through this ongoing partnership with Nashville Cares” said Dr. Edgar Diaz-Cruz, SNPhA faculty advisor, “our pharmacy students are gaining an edge to better serve and counsel patients with HIV/AIDS in the community.”  Nashville Cares representatives Amy Walter and Lisa Binkley will return to Belmont in the months ahead to present a second part of the lecture series.
