Belmont PharmD graduates coordinate internship program for Walgreens

LucasSmallPustulkaSmallClass of 2012 Belmont College of Pharmacy Alumni, Dr. Rebecca Lucas Chapman and Dr. John Pustulka, are currently co-coordinating the summer internship program for Walgreens in the north and south Nashville areas.  Dr. Chapman states that the majority of students in the program are currently enrolled in pharmacy school at either Belmont or Lipscomb.  The main focus of the program is to develop strong future pharmacists who prefer to practice in a community setting.  The program provides not only real-life experiences to the interns but the tools and resources that the current community pharmacist utilizes on a daily basis.

In addition, Dr. Chapman has recently accepted the position of pharmacy manager for Walgreens in Hermitage, Tennessee. Dr. Chapman will be implementing quality assurance protocols to increase drug safety, providing medication therapy management services as well as overseeing drug inventory. Dr. Chapman’s store is located near Tulip Grove in Hermitage.
