Around 700 students from the Gainesville, Jacksonville and Orlando campuses came together to attend the Pathways to Pharmacy Careers event at the Hilton UF Conference Center in Gainesville on Oct. 21.
The event was designed specifically for Pharm. D. students and included eight guest speakers that covered topics on leadership, career tracks and professional development. This year also featured a financial health topic and an exhibit area where employers introduced students to opportunities available within their organizations.
“The Pathways to Pharmacy Careers event provides exposure to topics that we do not always learn in the classroom,” said Benny Zhang, a third-year student from Orlando.
Pathways to Pharmacy Careers is an annual event that focuses on the careers of pharmacy students after they attain their Pharm. D. degree.
