In doing so, we bring in expert faculty members from PittPharmacy to talk about their journeys throughout the field. We also emphasize the role of a pharmacist in research and the innovative fields that one can pursue through the many doors opened with a PharmD. We have weekly webinars followed by activities that will engage the students and encourage teamwork. There will be patient cases that the students will work through outside of the webinar sessions and they will receive help and guidance from their mentors, who are all current PittPharmacy students. Throughout our program we also foster professional development by implementing resume workshops and tips on how to have a successful interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em>When<\/em><\/strong>: The program is 5 weeks long, with a webinar occurring every\u00a0<strong>Friday from 12:00pm\u20132:00pm (Eastern Time)<\/strong>.

While those are very important roles that are filled by pharmacists, there is so much more that one can do with a PharmD degree. The goal of our program is to expand students views and allow them to start thinking NOW about the many different fields one can pursue in pharmacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em>Deadline<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0 The deadline date to apply to the PIER Program is<strong>\u00a0June 18, 2021<\/strong><strong>\u00a0and there is no cost to participate in PIER!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em>Website for more information<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pages.pharmacy.pitt.edu\/pier\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/pages.pharmacy.pitt.edu\/pier\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1622810252127000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHiDHMRtfGCH1AdBiRSbUuf5VJuuw\">https:\/\/pages.pharmacy.pitt.edu\/pier\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you for your time and assistance in sharing this great opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please feel free to contact\u00a0<strong>Suzanne Mannino<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:smm198@pitt.edu\">smm198@pitt.edu<\/a>\u00a0with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy PIER Program: \u00a0 What:\u00a0PIER stands for Pharmacy Innovation Experience and Research.\u00a0We aim to expose our students to the wide range of opportunities that come with a PharmD (Doctorate in Pharmacy) Degree.
