NSU’s Palm Beach Regional Campus Hosts “A Day in the Life of a Pharmacist”

NSU’s College of Pharmacy at the Palm Beach Regional Campus hosted “A Day in the Life of a Pharmacist,” an event designed for high school students, from the School District of Palm Beach County, who have identified an interest in the pharmacy profession. The event provided participants with foundational knowledge and an understanding of the evolving profession of pharmacy. The day comprised of mini lectures in pharmacy practice career pathways, an interactive activity focused on compounding medications, and a tour of a local pharmacy practice site to observe what pharmacists do daily. Eighteen students and their teachers from five schools across the county attended the event.

“We are excited to partner with the School District of Palm Beach County and bring local high school students to our campus to increase their knowledge about the many career opportunities for pharmacists, as well as, the tremendous impact pharmacists can have on their patients’ lives.” said Rochelle Nappi, Ed.D., the assistant dean of the college in Palm Beach.
