UB pharmacy school to welcome students via virtual orientation programs

Multiple virtual orientation programs will be offered for doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students and pharmaceutical sciences undergraduate and graduate students. These programs officially welcome new students to campus and provide an open forum for questions and discussion.

The school’s annual White Coat Ceremony for PharmD students, typically held during orientation, is scheduled to take place in Spring 2021.  

Pharmaceutical sciences undergraduate and graduate students will have a one-day orientation program on August 27, focusing on collaborative learning and mentoring, student services, and health and safety protocols.
