Gifted Atlanta

Mercer University’s Atlanta campus offers a three-day summer program this July to introduce high-school students to pharmacy and pharmaceutical science.

The Pharmacy Scholars Summer Program is open to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. The program is led by Mercer faculty and students, as well as working pharmacists. In a mix of workshops and labs, students will learn about compounding, drug information, patient care, pharmacy careers, and what’s required to apply to a pharmacy school.

Tuition is $150. Financial assistance may be available to qualified families.

Deadline to apply is April 30, 2014.
