ETSU student pharmacists develop creative health care solutions

Student pharmacists in East Tennessee State University Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy’s Rural and Underserved Pharmacy Care Track recently tackled real-world health care challenges at ETSU/Eastman Valleybrook, home to Project EARTH and the Niswonger VILLAGE, a unique public health simulation lab. 
Students worked in teams to design safe medication storage solutions for families in South Africa and Rwanda, where refrigeration and health care access are limited. They also explored Rus Pumps, a water purification system using natural filtration.
