What is Pharmacy Summer Camp?  The UAMS College of Pharmacy Summer Camp Program is designed for high school rising juniors and seniors interested in learning more about the challenging career pathway opportunities in the profession of pharmacy.  This unique camp incorporates active participation in a broad scope of learning experiences including "hands-on" training in pharmacy practice skills, lectures by College of Pharmacy faculty and local Arkansas pharmacist practitioners, and field trips to actual pharmacy practice locations.  The camp program reviews pharmacy education opportunities and the pharmacy curriculum at UAMS as well as recommended high school preparatory and collegiate pre-pharmacy course work.  For more information and highlights about the camp click here.

Pharmacy Summer Camp Tuition & Fees:  Camp tuition is $400.00 and includes housing, all meals, camp instruction materials, laboratory exercise supplies, and field trip transportation expenses.

Application Process:    Applications for participation in the pharmacy summer camp program are available. Application will be available in January 2010.  Completed applications must be post-marked by March 19, 2010 to be considered for selection.  Due to the hands-on aspects of the camp program that necessitates a small faculty to camp participant ratio, enrollment in the Pharmacy Summer Camp program is limited.  Preference will be given to rising seniors if the number of applicants exceeds capacity limits of the camp.

Financial Aid:  A limited number of stipends are available to those requiring tuition assistance.

Camp Faculty & Counselors:   Eddie Dunn, Pharm.D.., Department of Pharmacy Practice and other College of Pharmacy faculty members, pharmacist practitioners, and current UAMS pharmacy students representing a broad range of career experience in the pharmacy profession.
