During the fall semester, all incoming pharmacy students enroll in Service and Care in the Community, a course based on an educational method in which the participants are involved in service work and active learning. This course is based on the conviction that providing service and care is critically important for anyone who aspires to become a member of a healthcare profession.
Students are required to provide two hours of service each week for ten weeks during the fall semester.
Please click here for a list of available Service-Learning sites and descriptions of each as well as an online selection form . You should review this list and choose the top sites where you would most like to do your service work. After reviewing the list you will proceed to the online selection form and indicate your top choices. We will do our best to match you with one of your top choices, but we cannot guarantee that you will be matched to one of them.
Preference will be given based on when you enter your preferences.
