2010 Pharmacy Camp

Our third annual Pharmacy Summer Camp will be held first on June 9-11th and our second camp will be June 28-30th on the campus of The University of Findlay. High school students entering their junior or senior years are encouraged to attend our overnight camp. We will spend three days exploring topics in our professional pharmacy curriculum and how each class applies to what pharmacists do each day: pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics and pharmacotherapeutics. Each topic will include "coursework" along with hands-on experiences and problem-solving activities. Pharmacy Summer Camp is a great way to learn more about the profession of pharmacy and what it takes to become a pharmacist. Students will also enjoy the opportunity to explore The University of Findlay College of Pharmacy, meet faculty members and other students who share their interest in becoming a pharmacist. Each camp has availability for 36 students, and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so get your registration forms in early!
