Shadow a Pharmacist or a Student

Interested in shadowing a pharmacist at MUSC or learning more about a day in the life of a MUSC pharmacy student? Contact Madison Riley at rileymad@musc.edu.

Shadowing opportunities are offered Monday - Friday and are based on availability of pharmacists and/or class schedule (depending on which shadow experience you are interested in).



In order to shadow a pharmacist, you must: 

• Provide health documentation to include current TB (within three months of your visit), immunization records, Covid-19 vaccination record, and flu vaccine. 
• Allow a month's notice before your anticipated shadow date
• Wear professional business attire and act in a professional manner

The requirements to shadow a pharmacy student are much more lenient but still requires a month's notice. 

Student Mentors for Minorities in Pharmacy (SMMP)

Student Mentors for Minorities in Pharmacy (SMMP) is a program designed to prepare minority high school and college students for a career path in pharmacy. Students are paired with a current MUSC College of Pharmacy student who serves as their mentor and guides them through the program, while offering insight and advice from their own personal experiences. This program provides mentees with a competitive advantage when applying to a graduate-level health professions program through various workshops, seminars, and professional development activities.

SMMP will run from January 2024 to April 2024. This program will be offered fully virtual. All mentees and mentors are expected to meet once a month from 10:00 am - 11:30 am.

Registration will open at the end of October 2023. If you have questions about the program, please contact Madison Riley at rileymad@musc.edu.
