Thursday, November 18, 2010 SMC Campus Center Ballroom A
Noon - 1:00 p.m. Light lunch will be served and this event is FREE to all UMB students, faculty and staff. All that is required is pre-registration.
From the first recorded mentions of a flu-like virus in ancient writings, through the sophisticated monitoring systems in place today, the history of influenza is a history of humanity's desperate attempt to understand the causes and mitigate the effects of an illness that, in its most virulent form, can kill in days. Join Lauren Hynicka, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacotherapy at the School of Pharmacy to learn about our interesting relationship with the deadly flu virus. Dr. Hynicka serves as a clinical pharmacy specialist on a general internal medicine team at the University of Maryland Medical Center. She received her doctor of pharmacy degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy and completed residency at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System in Richmond, Va.
