RPHARM Student Testimonials
“RPHARM has taught me that the healthcare needs in rural communities often come with unique challenges and situations you won’t find in urban or suburban areas. It’s important for rural healthcare providers to be well- versed and knowledgeable about their patient population.”

“The RPHARM program offers you the opportunity to get involved in rural communities across Illinois and to create interprofessional relationships with other professional students. It also helps you improve your leadership, teamwork, and communication skills. Which are essential for a future pharmacist.”
