I've asked to shadow before but they said most chain stores do not allow it. However, I used to volunteer at a hospital pharmacy but they just stopped the program because it was to risky for volunteers to make mistakes  . All other hospitals have HUGE wait lists before pharmacy positions are available so I suggest you start applying NOW!! But ur best luck would be either a hospital or private shadowing |
Thanks for your advice/input! If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a position to volunteer at a hospital pharmacy? The hospitals that I've volunteered at didn't even have the pharmacy dept. as an option, so I was wondering if you knew of any hospitals or anything related? Thank you again!
