Jumpstart! to Pharmacy

Jumpstart! to Pharmacy is a series of workshops designed in collaboration with Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee for high school juniors and seniors taught by Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy faculty and students. These workshops provide an opportunity for students to improve their understanding of medicine and gain practical skills in medication management relevant to careers in pharmacy or healthcare generally. Workshops will be held at specific dates and times at Boys and Girls Club Sites, Concordia University School of Pharmacy, or participant High Schools. Students who complete the approximately 20 hours of workshop instruction will be acknowledged with a micro-certificate that may be used as a credential for pharmacy related employment through Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeships or to demonstrate their highly relevant educational experiences in application to college healthcare degree programs. If necessary due to resource limitations, priority will be given for participants interested in Youth Apprenticeship employment opportunities.

Program Goals: Participants will have an increased understanding of…

  • pathways for healthcare careers with a focus on medication therapy,
  • careers in pharmacy: technicians and pharmacists, and
  • skill development for medical and pharmacy/pharmaceutical labs.

Registration for workshops available in fall, spring, and summer.

Where is our pharmacy school?

As they say in real estate, location, location, location and we think ours is pretty special. Our campus is in Mequon, Wisconsin, which is approximately 20 miles north of Milwaukee, a top-rated Midwest city. In addition, the campus sits on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Concordia's School of Pharmacy is housed in Patrick T. Ferry Hall (pictured).

This excellent location allows us to hold experiential learning at Aurora, Ascension, and Froedtert hospitals and clinics. There are also numerous opportunities for students and faculty to volunteer pharmacy services to individuals in the surrounding communities.

Getting to campus

All campus visits take place in the School of Pharmacy (PH) building. Transportation to campus and the surrounding areas and lodging will need to be arranged independently. Parking is free and available in lots E, C, F, or H. If available spots cannot be found, parking is also available in lot J.

While you’re here, explore the area. Explore these links to find more information about what to see and do in the Mequon and metro Milwaukee areas.
