Eleven Ohio Northern pharmacy students attended the 2012 National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Conference on National Legislation and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., from May 7-10.
The ONU students met with key members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as government officials and political insiders, to share their views on targeted community pharmacy issues. The ONU contingent visited with both of Ohio's senators, Sherrod Brown and Ron Portman, to discuss proposed pharmacy legislation. Students also were able to meet individually with their congressional representatives or staff.
