Global Rotations Widening Pharmacists' Horizons
When Vraj Patel, a fourth-year PharmD student at the School of Pharmacy, traveled to Zambia, he spent four weeks at the University Teaching Hospital getting hands-on experience in a health care system that, in many ways, was quite unlike his own.
Patel’s international rotation, which occurred in May and June 2025 at the start of his fourth year, allowed him to explore multiple areas in pharmacy including inpatient cardiology, infectious diseases, outpatient management of pediatric cancers, and HIV.
That rotation in Zambia is one of more than half a dozen partnerships the School of Pharmacy has across the globe, including partnerships with universities in Australia, Egypt, Italy, South Korea, Thailand, and Zambia. And it’s only growing.
