Rural Pharmacy Camps and Events

Are you a high school or college student interested in the profession of pharmacy as a possible career choice? Are you from a rural area or have an interest in rural healthcare settings? If so, you should register for one of our upcoming Rural Pharmacy Camps.

At each Camp, participants will experience:

  • A brief introduction to a career in pharmacy
  • A panel of pharmacists working in the field
  • A Q&A session with PharmD students from UIC
  • An overview of admissions information for pharmacy school
  • Hands-on pharmacy activities

Rural Pharmacy Camp Registration for 2026-2027 will open in Fall 2026.

If you’re looking to learn more about the pharmacy profession, pharmacy school admission requirements, application procedures and timelines, the interview process, the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, career opportunities, including the growing need for pharmacists in rural areas, and program concentrations, with a special focus on the Rural Pharmacy Education (RPHARM) Program, join us for our free Rural Virtual Information Sessions.
