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.

*All shadow days are full for Spring 2026. Please email Paige Rauh at prauh@uic.edu to be added to the waitlist. Include your name, email and phone number in the email.
