Seeing Double at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting PDF Print E-mail

ImageThe 2009 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting in Las Vegas exceeded expectations and brought in more than 20,000 attendees -- so many, you might not have seen the same person twice.  But there was one face that you were guaranteed to see twice, if not do a double-take.  Identical twins and OSHP student members Greg and David Kramp were in attendance.

David and Greg, although they look alike, decided separately to attend pharmacy school.  "I knew after graduating high school that I wanted to be a pharmacist,"  says Greg, a student in the first graduating class of the University of Findlay.  David, however, decided later on, "While interviewing at colleges of medicine, I kept telling faculty that I liked understanding how small molecules, like drugs, can have an effect that is so much bigger, such as medications for psychological disorders that affect patients and their caregivers.  After two years of no acceptances, I stopped and thought  'Maybe what I really would enjoy is actually pharmacy.'  Once I gave it a chance I found I really like it."  David is currently president the University of Cincinnati Student Society and a member of the OSHP Board of Directors.  Greg was recognized earlier this year by placing in the "100th percentile of the national accreditation standard test," required by AACP for newly founded colleges of pharmacy.

Like others, David and Greg use state and national meetings to network and catch up with other pharmacists and students, including each other.  "Since David attends pharmacy school in Cincinnati, the OSHP Annual Meeting in Columbus helps us stay in touch." says Greg.  Although Greg was born a minute later than David, Greg will graduate a year earlier -- this spring, because David delayed his graduate studies.
