PATHWAYS TO PHARMACY 2022
June 19-23, 2022
Pathways to Pharmacy is an immersive summer camp designed exclusively for high school students. You will be introduced to the widely growing field of pharmacy and experience a medication’s life cycle from research and development all the way to clinical application. You will also experience an abbreviated version of the curriculum at NEOMED with each day of the camp focusing on a different academic year. New this year, we are offering participants the option of a day camp or an overnight camp. Both groups will be involved with the on-campus activities, while only the overnight group will take advantage of the off-campus activities.
