High school students invited to virtual pharmacy academy with Midwestern University

High school sophomores and juniors are invited to a virtual summer program offered by the Chicago College of Pharmacy at Midwestern University to learn more about a variety of pharmacy career options.

The Virtual PharmAcademy will be held from June 22-26.

The program will provide students with a fun and comprehensive learning experience about the diverse career paths in pharmacy from expert pharmacy faculty and researchers.

During this program, students will spend five half-days from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. learning and engaging with Midwestern University faculty, practicing pharmacists, alumni, and current pharmacy students.

The new virtual program will explore patient care in a variety of pharmacy practice environments. Midwestern University's Chicago College of Pharmacy offers a doctoral degree (Pharm.D.) in pharmacy and educates students to be valued members of the health care team.

Midwestern University has been offering a summer pharmacy program for high school students for 20 years and many past participants have gone on to pursue various careers in pharmacy. The University is offering the Virtual PharmAcademy at the reduced cost of $35 for the weeklong session.
