Tandem Health pharmacists visited Liberty STEAM Charter School as part of the school’s PATH Day program. PATH - which stands for Prepare, Aspire, Train, Harness - is designed to introduce students to a variety of career paths through interactive sessions with local professionals. During the event, Carrington Huneycutt, PharmD, BCACP, Director of Clinical Pharmacy at Tandem Health, and Ronnie "McCall" Campbell, PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist, discussed the field of pharmacy for Ms. Hallman’s 4th grade class.
 
The session highlighted the roles and responsibilities of pharmacy technicians and pharmacists, along with the education and training required for each career path. Students participated in hands-on activities, practicing with counting trays to prepare medications for pharmacist verification. The pharmacists also led a discussion on medication adherence, emphasizing the importance of taking medications as prescribed. To reinforce the concept, students used pill boxes and pill packs as tools to help improve adherence and understand real-world applications.
