Summer Internship

Community Pharmacies of Indiana
“Advocating Community Pharmacy Practice”

Practice in Professional Paradise!
A career in an independently owned community pharmacy.

You owe it to yourself to explore the pharmacy career options available in an independently owned community pharmacy.  Independently-owned means that the pharmacy is part of a single-store or small chain operation as opposed to being part of a larger regional or national chain operation. Community is defined as working in a mostly retail setting to care for ambulatory patients and their many service needs that require a well-trained and enthusiastic pharmacist.

Let Community Pharmacies of Indiana (CPI), an association of community pharmacies, share with you the benefits to your career and lifestyle that choosing employment at an independent community pharmacy brings to you.  Consider an Internship in an independently owned pharmacy.

Benefits of an internship in this exciting setting…

	You will work closely with the owners of the pharmacy you work in.
	Independent community pharmacies are generally on the cutting-edge of providing progressive services to their pharmacy consumers, again because the decision makers can respond quicker to change. Service is often what sets this type of pharmacy apart from larger chains whose focus is normally on price and non-pharmacy departments; so progressive services are what the typical community pharmacy uses to gain customers. A few examples commonly found in independent community pharmacies across Indiana and across the country . Diabetic Counseling, Immunizations and Vaccinations, Prescription Compounding Services, Wellness and Nutrition Programs, Home Health Care, Home Infusion, Health Screenings, and a variety of other exciting and rewarding services.
	Maybe you would like to open your own pharmacy someday. You may not think you can afford it, or you don't know where to begin.  An internship in an independent pharmacy will help you learn more about independent pharmacy ownership.
	Locations around the state. Choose a clinical setting, shopping center location, or a neighborhood street.  CPI will try to connect you with a community pharmacy close to you.
	It is worth your time and consideration to check out independent community pharmacy as a future career option!
