Overcoming Imposter Syndrome during the Admissions Process  |  Wed, November 6, 2024  |  5:30-6:30pm PT

We all have those nagging thoughts in the back of our minds that threaten to hold us back from pursuing our dreams. No matter how hard we try or how much we achieve, it just never seems like enough as we compare ourselves to others. Join Admissions Officers and Student Ambassadors as we discuss how to focus on our strengths, stop comparing ourselves to others, and how to handle Imposter Syndrome during the Admissions Process. Click here to RSVP.

 

What Exactly Does a Pharmacist Do? |  Wed, November 13, 2024 | 5:30-6:30pm PT

Pharmacists don't just stand behind a counter and put pills in bottles. Doctors of Pharmacy play an active role in navigating a patient's overall healthcare journey as part of an integrated team of medical professionals. Pharmacists can specialize in a wide variety of fields and the career opportunities are extremely diversified. Dr. Garcia will be sharing what a Pharmacist does, what career paths someone with a PharmD degree can pursue, and Student Ambassadors will share why they chose Pharmacy. Participants can submit questions to be answered live by Dr. Garcia or by the Pharmacy Student Ambassadors! Click here to RSVP.
