Summer Pre-Pharmacy Internship for Underrepresented Students

Located at the foothills of the Ozarks, we are a faith-based institution that seeks to graduate pharmacists who accept the responsibility of improving the spiritual and physical wellness of the world by providing patient-centered care that ensures optimal medication therapy outcomes. We have a low student to professor ratio (6:1) and a high percentage of students who go on to post-graduate training such as residency or fellowship (~20%). Our program is unique in that it is the only 3.5 year condensed pharmacy curriculum (see attached) in the United States while offering the same rigor, preparation and clinical opportunities. The condensed program saves our students time and money, because they belong to the only cohort in the country that graduates in December, giving them a 6-month advantage on job placement since no other programs graduate at that time of year.
