That desire is what attracted her to ACPHS with thoughts of becoming a pharmacist. But not long into her academic career, Ahmed began to realize that pharmacy was not going to be her career destination. With advice from her thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring professors, Ahmed began to switch her focus toward the field of Public Health. After her 2016 graduation from ACPHS, she advanced to receive a master's in Public Health from the University at Albany, and a master's in Business Administration from Stony Brook University. Her strong desire to help people is now actualized through her work with government and community leaders in shaping health policies through the Pew Charitable Trusts' Substance Use Prevention &amp; Treatment Initiative. She provides technical assistance to states seeking to improve access to treatment for opioid use disorder and to reduce the number of overdose deaths. Nawshin Ahmed’s experiences give her a great perspective on the journey from higher education to career. She tells current and prospective ACPHS students they should know that there are many paths available to them. She also says students should be open to exploring new options and shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes along the way.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/52207625</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Dec 2022 20:08:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52207625/from_acphs_to_pew_charitable_trust_substance_use_prevention_and_treatment_initiative.mp3" length="17468743" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Occupation Station</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>A strong desire to help people has always drawn Nawshin Ahmed toward health related careers.

In January 2020, the College will open the Center for Biopharmaceutical Education and Training (CBET), a $37.3 million facility that will train pharmacy students and mid-career professionals for jobs making biopharmaceutical drugs, which is a rapidly growing part of the drug industry nationwide.<br /><br />CBET will be a 20,000-square-foot advanced technology facility that will feature emerging technologies such as single use and continuous bioprocessing, cell therapy, gene therapy, and real-time analytics. Hands-on programing will include real world applications operating in a simulated cGMP environment, as well as broader topics such as quality control and supply chain management.  Close ties and consultation with corporate partners will be crucial to providing relevant programming both for traditional students and individuals already in the workforce.  Initial partners in this endeavor include Clarkson University and Albany Molecular Research Institute.  Discussions are currently underway with additional collaborators.<br /><br />In this episode of Occupation Station, Dr. Patrick Yang, former executive vice president of Genentech, Roche and Juno and current chairman of AbGenomics and Acepodia joins ACPHS President Dr. Greg Dewey to talk about the current recruitment needs of the biopharmaceutical industry and how CBET will fill those positions.  Dr. Yang, who serves as an adviser to program development, discusses five distinct ways CBET will partner with biopharmaceuticals. Dr. Dewey, meanwhile, talks about how CBET will stay nimble, while training students for a rapidly changing field.<br /><br />Learn more at <a href="https://www.acphs.edu/CBET" rel="noopener">https://www.acphs.edu/CBET</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20038201</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2019 01:28:40 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/20038201/center_for_biopharmaceutical_education_and_training.mp3" length="41994290" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Occupation Station</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Exciting news at ACPHS!
