UGA Pre-Pharmacy Mentoring Program


The UGA College of Pharmacy Pre-Pharmacy Mentoring Program is committed to providing mentors to undergraduate and post-bachelor students anywhere who plan on applying to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program at the University of Georgia. The program's goal is to leverage a “flash mentoring” concept to connect mentees with current UGA PharmD students for guidance and support. The PharmD mentors will provide information and resources about the UGA PharmD program, the application process, time management, curriculum questions, and other subjects. Mentors and mentees are expected to interact electronically -- until the pandemic subsides -- at least once. Additional meetings are highly recommended (dependent on the mentor’s availability); however, they are not required. The Program also offers informational events that cover topics such as admissions requirements and interview prep.

If interested in being mentored, please fill out this form. New sign-ups can happen at any time! After an application is submitted, matching will take place as soon as possible. Once matched, participants will be sent an email indicating their mentor's name and contact information.

The program has 30 trained mentors ready to connect!

Questions or suggestions can be sent to Dr. Shane Pruitt, at shane.pruitt@uga.edu.
