Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences will hold its Ransdell Family Health Professions Readiness & Enrichment Program (HPREP) event during the week of May 21-25, 2017 on the main campus in Buies Creek.
“The mission of HPREP is to provide a diverse group of future healthcare leaders with opportunities for professional career exploration as well as leadership and professional development,” said Michael L. Adams, PharmD, PhD, dean of the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. “We expect 60 students to participate in the week-long program this year.”
HPREP exposes college students to a formative experience that combines academic instruction with leadership and professional development in an interdisciplinary environment.
Orin Autry, 2012 HPREP Participant and 3rd year CPHS Pharmacy student, commented on the program, “Simply put, HPREP provided me the necessary essential subjective markers, namely confidence, to gain admission into the pharmacy school. The program is stellar and remarkable in all it provides for aspiring medical professionals.”
