The Carolina Pharmacy Leadership, Excellence, And Development (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.

Please know that these programs are not limited to underserved and underrepresented students.  All interested students are encouraged to apply. There is no cost to program participants, but out of town participants are responsible for their own travel and lodging.

Those admitted to the program will be exposed to and explore the phenomenal career opportunities available in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, meet and build relationships with leaders in the profession, and learn how to improve their performance on admissions tests and how to be a successful applicant through professional development and leadership activities.

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.
