Rockford Shadow Days
Shadow Days are FULL for Spring 2026. Email prauh@uic.edu if you would like to be added to the waitlist.
Are you interested in a healthcare field, helping others, chemistry, or biology? Have you ever wondered what else goes into being a pharmacist besides what you see at your local community pharmacy? We invite you to join us in a fully immersive student shadow day at our Rockford campus!
Participants will experience:
- A brief introduction to a career in pharmacy
- 1st year pharmacy active learning classroom observation and participation
- Active participation in a 2nd year compounding activity working with current pharmacy students in our compounding lab
- Lunch (provided by the college) with current pharmacy students
There is no fee or cost to participate in a Rockford Shadow Day. Have questions about the Shadow Day experience? Reach out to Paige Rauh at prauh@uic.edu or 815-395-5831.
Make sure to also check out our annual High School Pharmacy Camp and Summer Pharmacy Institute, which also take place at the Rockford campus.
