Dinner with a Pharmacist
Dinner with a Pharmacist is an initiative partnering the Gulf Coast Society of Health-System Pharmacists with local pharmacy schools to expose pharmacy students in a small-group setting (typically 5-10 students) to pharmacists from various backgrounds, specialties, and institutions. It is a chance for students to network and ask questions to help decide on a career path.
The form linked is for pharmacists to sign up to be contacted to have dinner with a small group of interested students. Student sign-ups to participate will be sent out later in the year via their respective schools.

Meals are not reimbursed/sponsored as part of the program at this time. Each attendee is responsible for his/her own meal.
