George Strock, Intern - U of Philadelphia

“The second year operations internship has exposed me to an area of pharmacy that I never really thought about before. I have learned a lot of valuable information this summer from the program and my preceptor that will help me in my career as a pharmacist. After seeing some of the other internships my friends at school have gone through this summer, I realized just how much more of a learning experience this company's summer internship presents to students.”

John McCarthy, Intern - U of Connecticut

“The Shaw's/Osco Summer Internship was all I was hoping it would be and more. It was a great blend of hands-on learning and disease state education. In addition to a typical workweek, we had the pleasure of hearing various presentations and even giving some of our own. I feel enriched by the experience, and had a great time doing it! I would recommend this internship to anyone who wants to earn money, learn, and have a great time doing it.”

“Being a Supervalu Summer Pharmacy Intern was a great opportunity to learn from some of the top professionals in retail pharmacy and to develop future practice skills with Supervalu's unique clinical programs.”

Theresa Carboni, Intern - U of Charleston

“While working for SUPERVALU pharmacies, I was able to work with some of the most elite pharmacists, who showed me the meaning of being a true professional. No matter how busy the pharmacy was, I learned from my pharmacists that the patients always matter and complete care and attention must be given in every situation. When my pharmacist counseled, I was able to participate and add what I learned through the internship or from school. Everyday, I was encouraged by my pharmacists to keep asking questions. Above all, I appreciated and grew from my experience with SUPERVALU pharmacies and would recommend this opportunity to every pharmacy student.”

Diana Samandarova, Intern - MCP Boston

“The summer internship program has been challenging, educational, and exciting. I was able to get hands on experience in retail pharmacy as well as work on my presentation skills.
