A student from Charles Sturt University (CSU) is one step closer to being named the Pharmacy Student of the Year 2014. Final year student Mr Jamie Pisani from the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU in Wagga Wagga won the title of Pharmacy Student of the Year (PSOTY) Wildcard Finalist during a national student conference in Bendigo earlier this year. Mr Pisani from Callala Bay on NSW south coast was selected for his knowledge of over-the-counter-products during the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) conference involving up to 300 students from the 18 universities. He will now represent CSU at the national finals of the Pharmacy Student of the Year competition at the Pharmacy Australia Congress (PAC14) in Canberra in October.  Pharmacy Program Leader at CSU, Mr George John said "This is a testament to Jamie's passion for engaging with the patient. Jamie also gives credit to the way that Charles Sturt University approaches the training of students, especially giving them the right skills to ensure appropriate pharmaceutical care is given to each patient in a contextualised and tailored manner." Mr Pisani will also receive an award for academic excellence from the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science Professor Tim Wess during a ceremony at CSU in Wagga Wagga from 10am on Thursday 27 March.
