High School Pharmacy Camp
University of Illinois Chicago College of Pharmacy at Rockford
The UIC College of Pharmacy High School Pharmacy camp (HSPC) is a half day, introductory experience designed to expose high school students to the field of pharmacy! HSPC began in 2016 and has helped participants decide if pharmacy is right for them (https://pharmacyforme.org/). Past participants have included individuals from Illinois as well as out-of-state high school students interested in the profession. We welcome a diverse group of individuals to apply to attend. With over 80 career paths in the field of pharmacy, High School Pharmacy Camp gives participants an opportunity to learn about traditional roles for pharmacists as well as novel opportunities you can pursue with a pharmacy degree!
