The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) School of Pharmacy is excited to host an HBCU Pharmacy Careers Retreat on the campus of SIUE in Edwardsville, Illinois. The SIUE School of Pharmacy is dedicated to mentoring health care professionals who will care for the needs of a diverse world.

Presentations will provide insight into the expertise that pharmacists bring to the medical team. Personal and Professional Development sessions on networking and branding will also be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the SIUE Career Development Center to improve interview skills that will enhance their interactions with future college or employment interviews.
