Admissions Workshop: GatoRx Launch: A Pre-Matriculation Program Designed to Prepare Students to Soar

Saturday, July 20, 2024
2:30 PM – 3:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Sheraton: Constitution Ballroom
To ensure that admitted students are prepared for success in pharmacy education, University of Florida developed a 16-hour virtual, optional program offered the summer prior to matriculation. Collaboration with faculty and others in university support services resulted in 4 hours each of organic chemistry and anatomy and physiology review, and 8 hours on personal development. Students who participated in GatoRx Launch had similar science GPAs upon admission but higher first semester GPAs compared to non-participants.
