PharmD Career Days
The School of Pharmacy hosts a two-day Career Days event annually for PharmD students.
The Career Development Day (first day) offers career programming to each cohort that is tailored to their year in the program. This programming provides an opportunity for all students to think and talk about their career goals, practice their career-related skills (e.g. elevator speech, networking) by connecting with a variety of organizations, and learn more about future educational and/or employment opportunities. If you are interested in presenting or volunteering to review student CVs, contact Chelsea Wimmer.
The Career Fair (second day offers employers the opportunity to connect face-to-face with our PharmD students to promote the employment and educational opportunities available within their organization.
