OAKWOOD, VA (APRIL 26, 2022) – Students who are interested in learning more about the profession of pharmacy have been invited to attend a one-day summer camp event at the Appalachian College of Pharmacy, this summer.
The June 3 day camp is geared toward high school juniors and older to give them an opportunity to experience what it is like to be a college of pharmacy student and what it takes to be a pharmacist. Students taking part in the free camp will learn from faculty members who are experts in their fields; conduct patient assessment procedures; discover pharmacy compounding techniques; practice pharmacotherapy on a human simulator; hear from ACP students about their pharmacy school experience; attend an admissions workshop session; and tour the ACP campus.
The day-long event is free and is open to students who register online at https://www.acp.edu/pharmacy-summer-camp/.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. on June 3 and end at 4 p.m. Lunch and refreshments will be provided by the college.
“This is a unique opportunity for high school students to learn a little more about the college of pharmacy and through a series of interactive events, learn a little more about what the profession of pharmacy is all about,” said ACP Dean Susan Mayhew.
For questions about the camp, interested persons may contact admissions@acp.edu or call 275-498-5272.
