Since 2007 Nova Southeastern University's Barry and Judy Silverman 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 outside of the United States. It also provides an opportunity for students and alumni to participate in experiences with other health care professionals, promotes inter-professional collaboration, and advocacy for the profession. Programs include visits to local pharmacies, hospitals, industries, governmental agencies, and much more. 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.
Travel Study Programs are led by NSU’s Silverman College of Pharmacy faculty members and take place during the summer semester. The travel portion lasts an average of two weeks. Students earn three (3) elective credits that are part of the Pharm.D. curriculum and is financial aid eligible. The program is open to students from other U.S. accredited colleges and universities.
