Team GlucoJack Wins 4th Annual Business Plan Competition

On April 22, the Advanced Practice Management team held the 4th Annual Business Plan Competition in the Boston campus’ Rombult Atrium. The event is the capstone of a year-long project in which students worked in teams to develop a health care-oriented business plan. Thirty-six teams presented posters detailing their business plans to twenty-eight judges from various areas of entrepreneurship and pharmacy management. The winning team, GlucoJack, was comprised of project manger Brian Pearl and team members Joseph Guedes, Sokunthea Ke, Despina Liousas, Jessica Namerow, Chaitali Patel and Joanna Sroka. The GlucoJack team, according to the judges, was able to effectively demonstrate that their idea of combining a cell phone and glucometer into one easy-to-use device would be of interest to investors. The team received a $500 prize donated by CVS/pharmacy and will also receive a commemorative plaque provided by Douglas J. Pisano, Dean of the School of Pharmacy-Boston. During and after the competition, lunch and refreshments were provided by the MCPHS Alumni Association.
