Pharmacology Textbook
Becky co-authored and illustrated a textbook for the introductory pharmacology class in the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy (see below). It is a free resource to pharmacy students who have the option to donate to Arms of Love, an orphanage at which Becky has served since 2012.
Impact of Mission Trips on Future Pharmacists
Becky has been going to Jinotepe, Nicaragua every summer since 2012 to serve at an orphanage, Arms of Love. Along with her husband, Becky has led a number of teams including athletes she has coached and pharmacy students. She published a paper (see below) describing the benefits of a mission trip to future pharmacists. The College of Pharmacy also published a student profile summarizing a trip that included athletes Becky coached.
