Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions Post # 0561

Description:
If you are interested in pursuing a career in pharmacy, please join us for our Pharmacy Exploring Program at Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions. We are excited to offer you the opportunity to explore three separate pharmacy settings including community, ambulatory care, and hospital. The purpose of this program is to introduce high school students to pharmacy as a possible career option through guest speakers, discussions with professional students, and various hands-on learning experiences.

Some of the activities that will be covered include compounding medications such as creams and suspensions, assessing blood pressures, counseling on over-the-counter medications, and observing the mixture of intravenous medications. At the end of our session, you will use the skills you have learned to compete against fellow Explorers for the title of Best Pharmacy Explorer.

You must be able to commit to the entire 7-hour session in order to enroll for our Pharmacy Exploring Program. Upon completion of our Pharmacy Exploring Program, you will understand the importance of teamwork in the healthcare setting, improve your leadership skills, and develop relationships with other like-minded high school students. Additionally, we encourage you to include our Pharmacy Exploring Program on your resume as you will receive a formal certificate of completion.

Location:
Our meeting will be held in the Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions’ Skills Lab located in the lower level of Brandeis Hall. Brandeis Hall is west of 24th and California Streets, and is located between Deglman and Swanson Halls (a map will be provided prior to the event).

Parking:
Guest parking is available on the top level of the parking garage located at 24th and California Streets. A Creighton University representative will meet all Explorers at the entrance on the top level of the garage. Explorers will then be escorted as they arrive to the Skills Lab which is located across the street in the lower level of Brandeis Hall on the Creighton University Campus. If for some reason we miss you, there will be signs posted directing you to our location.
