One of the exciting opportunities
that Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy offers is a competitive eight-week
Pharmacy Research Summer Internship (PRSI). It is a privilege to have
professors here at PCSP that are not only educators, but are also involved in
various fields of research. Dr. Alfonso Romero-Sandoval, Associate Professor of
Pharmaceutical & Administrative Sciences and also Director of Research, and
the Office of Research have partnered with the University of Alcala (UAH) in
Spain to offer the PRSI program both at the PCSP campus here in South Carolina
and at the UAH campus in Spain. Pre-pharmacy undergraduate students, pharmacy
students here at PCSP and students at UAH are invited to apply for the
opportunity to be paired up 1:1 with a faculty member to receive mentoring,
education, and paid research experience for eight weeks in June and July.
The program currently accommodates
eight student research positions at the PCSP campus, two of which are reserved
for students visiting from UAH in Spain to do their internship at PCSP. The
program also presents the opportunity for two students to travel to Spain to
carry out their internship at the University of Alcala. The benefits of
participating in the PRSI are numerous, and extend to improving the odds of
landing a residency after pharmacy school, as well as, obtaining pharmacy jobs.
Faculty mentoring, confidence in the lab, and the networking experience that
comes from presenting your work to other professionals are just a few of the
other benefits of completing a Pharmacy Research Summer Internship.
Applications are due March 13, 2015 and spots are competitive. So what are you
waiting for?! Head over to the PCSP website and search under Departments to find
the Office of Research. There, you will find the link on the left for the
Pharmacy Research Summer Internship and the applications, as well as
information about what type of research our faculty is involved in and how you
can participate in that research. Good luck!
