Speaking of PBA…
“The pre-pharmacy program gave me the opportunity to get involved in the pharmacy school while I was taking my undergraduate courses and get a glimpse of what was going to come next for me. It was easy to interact with the students who were already in pharmacy school at the time and get their advice and opinions.”
— Jennifer Cortes, PharmD alumnus, Critical care pharmacy resident at Shands Jacksonville
