We currently have 14 student-run informational and screening projects dispersed across various school of pharmacy student organizations on campus. The leaders of each organization have decided to remove all the projects from individual organizations so they could be better managed by a board of representatives that will collaboratively work together to host more effective health-fairs and represen
t all organizations within the school of pharmacy. By removing the projects associated with each organization and forming an alliance, we hope to improve the quality of our projects and outreach efforts and promote more collaboration amongst the different RCOs on campus. COSA hopes to organize more large-scale and inter-professional health-fairs that will address the needs of under-served populations. We hope to provide quality patient-focused care, use our resources more effectively, and offer meaningful outreach experiences that further both personal and professional development. UCSF COSA is the umbrella organization that oversees 14 community service projects within the UCSF School of Pharmacy. Through these projects, we provide health screenings, disease-state management counseling, health education and workshops with a focus on helping the underserved and giving back to the community.
