Pharmacy Fair
Annual Recruiting Event
Our Pharmacy Fair, held each fall at our Meridian, ID and Anchorage, AK campuses, is a great time for students and employers to network and form career relationships as colleagues in the practice of pharmacy. Students and recruiters are provided with opportunities to meet, discuss residency opportunities, and hold interviews for open jobs. Each year, we have around 20 companies and 200 students in attendance. Registration fees/sponsorships cover the cost of putting on the event and go toward supporting our student operations.
2024 Pharmacy Fair: October 24th and 25th
Recruiter registration: June 15th - September 6th

Alaska Recruiters
Pharmacy Fair is an annual event held over the course of two days where students come together to explore their pre- and post-graduation opportunities. You can mingle with recruiters, interview for internships, discuss P4 rotations, and start thinking about residencies. Not only is Pharmacy Fair a professional event, it is also a social event. We have a Pharmily Night gathering, breakfast and lunch are provided on campus for the two days, classes are canceled, and students from all levels and locations attend.
Explore Job & Intern Opportunities
The Pharmacy Fair is your opportunity to find out which jobs might suit you best because there are hundreds of opportunities out there for pharmacy. Come prepared to meet many professionals from the pharmacy field via tables at the company exhibit and your own personal interviews selected by you. So, dress to impress, bring your CV and resume, and be prepared to have fun.
Residencies & PhORCAS
A panel of Residency Directors present the various residency opportunities available and there will be an opportunity for student questions. There will also be a presentation on how to navigate PhORCAS and other residency application tips.
Rotation Roundtable
A group of P4 students talk about their different rotation sites and what they have to offer. There will be representatives from all the different APPE zones (Boise, Twin Falls, N. Idaho, Reno, Pocatello, Alaska). There will be an opportunity for students to ask questions, so come prepared.
Volunteers
This is a student-led event and takes a huge group of volunteers to make it successful each year. There are all sorts of positions for all availability levels and talents. It feels great to be a part of the team and be able to say I helped accomplish that! Look for info on volunteering in the spring semester.
Note: Pharmacy Fair is a required event for all P1s and P4s - Be prepared and plan accordingly. P4s, there is a small travel stipend available based on your APPE zone, and the preceptors get notified by OEE, but you will still need to work out your specific schedule details with your preceptor when the time comes. P2s and P3s, don’t feel left out. Be a part of the planning committee and attend events to network and continue laying the groundwork for future employment. Attend the Chu Lectureship.
