Cathedral Preparatory School

Our MedPath students had an incredible opportunity to hear from LECOM’s pharmacy professors and students during a “Lunch and Learn” about the many diverse fields of pharmacy and what it takes to succeed in pharmacy school! From clinical to research, retail to industry, the possibilities are endless. The hands-on activities were exceptional, giving our students a real taste of the skills and knowledge required in the field. A special highlight was hearing from Prep alumnus Charlie Raimondi ’20, who shared fond memories of his time at Prep and his journey through LECOM. He is excited to connect with and inspire future MedPath students! A huge thank you to LECOM for this engaging and informative experience! #MedPath #FuturePharmacists #HandsOnLearning ⚕
