Since 2007 the College of Pharmacy has been offering an annual Travel Study Program. The program provides students with an overview, understanding, and appreciation for pharmaceutical and medical practices practiced outside of the United States. It also provides an opportunity for students to participate in experiences with other health care professionals, promotes inter-professional collaboration, and allows students to advocate for the pharmacy profession. Programs include visits to local pharmacies, hospitals, industries, governmental agencies, and much more.
Travel Study programs are led by NSU College of Pharmacy faculty members and take place during the summer semester. The travel portion lasts an average of three weeks. Students earn three elective credits that are part of the Pharm.D. curriculum, and is open to students from other U.S. accredited colleges and universities. The popular cultural component of each travel study program immerses participants in the local food, art, history, museums, and theatre of the each region visited.
