This is an internship for the pre-professional arts and science student planning to work within the health care system as a pharmacist. The student will assist the Pacific Institute in the development and implementation of its ethics and policy program within the School of Pharmacy.

This internship will involve some or all of the following: research for curriculum development, research for funding opportunities, development and maintenance of a database of regional resources, maintenance of online resources for pharmacy students and professionals, attendance at program planning meetings as well as assistance in implementing graduate seminars in ethics & policy.
