The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy will host the Carolina Pharmacy Leadership, Excellence, And Development (LEAD) program for high school students on Tuesday, June 15 (click here for the session for current and former college students).

The Carolina LEAD program is a one-day preparatory and professional development program geared toward underserved and underrepresented students who are interested in exploring a career in pharmacy and learning how to be competitive in the pharmacy-school admissions process. However, this program is not limited to underserved and underrepresented students. All interested students are encouraged to apply.

Participants will engage in interactive classes and seminars and meet with faculty and students from one of the nation's leading pharmacy schools. They will also meet with innovative clinicians and cutting edge researchers from a variety of pharmacy practice settings.
