In the field of pharmacology, scientists study the interactions between drugs and the body and then apply what they have learned to the development of new drugs. Once a therapeutic drug becomes available, pharmacists work with patients and other health care professionals to ensure patients get the best outcomes from their medications.

Students enrolled in the PPP summer camp will learn through a variety of approaches, including hands-on experiments, field trips and projects. While we primarily explore careers in the pharmaceutical sciences (both clinical and research careers), the program is not designed strictly for students with an interest in pharmacy. Any student with an interest in biomedical science, including careers in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, laboratory research, etc., is encouraged to apply. This program does not explore careers related to forensic science, engineering or the physical sciences.

The deadline to apply is Friday, April 12, 2024
