Attention PLS Members:

PLS Member and UMES Graduate Alyssa Reese has been named “Next Generation Pharmacist”!

During the 2022 Next Generation Pharmacist Awards in Kansas City, MO, Alyssa Reese, a Phi Lambda Sigma member, was one of three nominees for the Award. Dr. Reese currently serves as a pharmacy resident at Central Virginia VA Health Care System.

Reese helped facilitate a residency and fellowship forum, established a mentorship program for upcoming seniors, and actively planned and implemented community events for COVID-19 testing and vaccine administration addressing vaccine hesitancy, skin cancer awareness, and opioid misuse education. This achievement of being named “Future Pharmacist” is a reflection of Reese’s personal philosophy of leaving a place better than one found it through either physical, emotional, or intellectual means.

On behalf of Phi Lambda Sigma, Congratulations Dr. Reese!
