Education

Scholars will learn about the role of pharmacists in improving health disparities. They will experience a 鈥渄ay in the life鈥� of a pharmacy student, explore career opportunities, participate in interactive activities, and hear advice on the pharmacy school application and interview process.

Through mentoring and networking over the course of one year, scholars will develop relationships with student pharmacists and pharmacists. Quarterly experiences may include a shadowing experience with the pharmacist at their practice site, attending a pharmacy school class, meeting with mentors to discuss career aspirations and other opportunities at the 老澳门六合彩图库 School of Pharmacy. 

Research
Scholars will explore research areas with exposure to bench research, clinical research and community engaged research.
