UMKC pharmacy students recently won the Student Pharmacist Compounding Competition at this year’s National Compounding Championship, March 18-19, at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy Gainesville, FL. Our three champion competitors were Jenny Sass, Rachel Sass, and Christina Bockman. School of Pharmacy Associate Professor Dr. Celestin Youan, who co-coordinated our students’ efforts at the competition, helped them learn the chemical prep aspects and the details of precise documentation, which were key to UMKC’s success at the competition.

Eight Schools of Pharmacy participated in the national competition, which included for the first time an official national compounding championship, making UMKC students the event’s inaugural winners. Dr. Cydney McQueen, SOP Clinical Associate Professor, accompanied the students to Gainesville and noted that they “did a wonderful job.” Dr. McQueen also indicated that the school’s clinical approach to treatment of the patient in the clinical case contributed to the students winning the competition.
