New Campaign Will Prepare Students to be Beyond Practice Ready
On December 1, the College is kicking off the new "Beyond Practice Ready" (BPR) campaign.
BPR means that our students will have the versatility, adaptability, and entrepreneurial spirit to meet the emerging workplace needs of a dynamic healthcare system. The cornerstone of the BPR campaign is the opening of two student operated pharmacies - one in Schenectady and one in Albany.
ACPHS will formally launch the BPR campaign on Tuesday, December 1 at 11 a.m. in the Gozzo Student Center in Albany.
Check out photos and video from the November 23 press conference announcing the new student operated pharmacy, "College Hometown Pharmacy" on State Street in Schenectady, scheduled to open in early 2016.

VT Campus Helps Increase Awareness of Health & Wellness
The Colchester School District has hosted a Community Wellness Fair at the local high school for the past two years, but with historically low attendance, this time they turned to the students on the ACPHS Vermont Campus to organize this year's event. The decision proved to be a good one. There were more than 200 people who attended the Fair on October 23, and the number of participating vendors increased from 10 last year to 25 this year.
Alicia Jacobs, a physician at Colchester Family Medicine and one of the event founders, said of the students' contributions, "They have done it all. They have been unbelievable. They plan to continue it, which is great for the town." Click here to read an article about the event from the Colchester Sun.
