On Thursday, 9/25/14, the Beckley MCA Pharmacology class hosted a Pharmaceutical Symposium.聽Introduced by instructor John McClanahan,聽his students each researched a pharmaceutical drug of their choice and put together posters/design boards displaying their uses, treatments, facts,聽symptoms and even聽side effects. Student and staff “visitors” were able to go around the room and聽visit聽each student’s聽booth, where they were given a short presentation聽about the topic. Their boards聽had designs, pictures,聽and some聽brought display items and聽other visual aids. Before leaving, visitors could anonymously vote聽for their top 3 favorite presentations – the winners received extra credit points.
The students dressed in business attire, which complemented the event (the free refreshments were a nice touch too). The Pharmacology Class 1st Annual Symposium went聽amazingly well. It was very evident that the students dedicated great effort into their projects and presentations.
