Kaiser Permanente Apothecary Circle Pharmacy Program
The Kaiser Permanente (KP) Apothecary Circle Pre-Pharmacy Program was created to enhance the knowledge of the profession of pharmacy for underrepresented pre-pharmacy students.
The mission of the Kaiser Permanente Apothecary Circle Program (ACP) is to assist pre-pharmacy students who are under-represented among pharmacists in the United States. This includes LatinX, African American and Native American. Our goal is to help our students become the best pharmacy school candidates possible. Candidates chosen are college juniors, seniors or graduate students completing pharmacy school prerequisites.
Once accepted, a student will be hired for one summer and paid to work up to 40 hours a week for 8 weeks each summer at one of our Southern California medical centers. Students will be exposed to all aspects of pharmacy: outpatient, hospital, clinical/ ambulatory care and management.
Throughout the summer, students will tour schools of pharmacy, meet key school faculty and experience presentations by pharmacists on clinical roles and professionalism, as well as interview, resume, and presentation skills.
The criteria to apply for the KP Apothecary Circle internship:
- Completion of the second year of college (acceptance to a 4 year college or university if currently attending a community college)
- A minimum 3.0 GPA
- Completion of the application form
- A scanned copy of unofficial transcripts for all college work so far.
- A two-page essay describing his/her decision to become a pharmacist, leadership skills, and what makes the individual the best candidate for an ACP position.
- Three references
Interested students should contact Arthur Dominguez, PharmD at ArthurRx@gmail.com by February 1, 2025.

Summer scholars spend eight weeks working daily with their faculty mentor and research team to learn about conducting scientific research and gain hands-on research experience. They also participate in a weekly seminar led by various participating faculty members and research education who share insights on how to prepare scientific poster presentations and provide guidance about career development.
The 8-week program is a paid opportunity. The 2024 program begins June 17 and ends August 9.
