Global Pharmacy Experience - Jamaica

Catalog description

This course is designed to develop the cultural awareness and sensitivity of students by providing the opportunity to experience the history, culture, and health beliefs of Jamaica. Students will gain in-depth awareness of the healthcare system, pharmacy practice, natural medicines, and drug regulation in Jamaica through firsthand experiences exploring hospitals, retail pharmacies, and pharmaceutical companies while in Jamaica. Students will also have the opportunity to visit the top-ranked Universities on the island such as the University of Technology School of Pharmacy, the University of the West Indies, and labs where natural product research is being conducted. At the end of this experience, we hope that students will enhance their creativity, boost morale, learn to work as a team, make new connections internationally, and boost self-confidence in their own ability as healthcare providers.
