Kenneth McCall, Pharm.D., associate professor and chair of Pharmacy Practice, was interviewed at length for a Sept. 5, 2012 Lakes Region Weekly story on an expert speaker who is scheduled to address the Maine Pharmacy Association at its fall convention in Bangor.

For example, in all of 2011 there were 24 pharmacy robberies, and so far this year in Maine there have been 37. That鈥檚 almost one a week.鈥
