WCSH6 features opening of College of Pharmacy

WCSH6 TV on Sept. 8, 2009 featured the opening of UNE's College of Pharmacy. The news team took a tour of the new four story building and talked with James Krebs, the college's director of Experiential Education. More than 800 students applied for the 100 positions available in the first class. "Maine, to the best of my knowledge, has the second largest shortage of pharmacists in the nation," said Krebs. "Many students end up leaving, they go to Massachusetts, to Rhode Island or Connecticut and then they often do not return to Maine. We have a growing population, specifically a growing geriatric population, so there is a huge need here." View the video.
