“Jewel-Osco pharmacists play a huge role in the community by providing MTM, immunizations, health screenings, and “Eating Healthy with Diabetes” tours and seminars. As a Jewel-Osco pharmacy intern, I was able to experience every one of these services and was even involved in the process. I gained invaluable experience throughout this internship. I would want every pharmacy student to be able to experience this internship.”

Manali Shah, Intern - Midwestern University

“Being a part of the SUPERVALU Summer Internship Program has opened my eyes to the range of opportunities a pharmacist has. During this internship, I was able to partake in two blood glucose and blood pressure screenings during which I felt all the hard work in pharmacy school was paying off because I was able to help these patients with their disease states. The internship showed me how many clinical pharmacy services SUPERVALU provides to its patients and makes me thankful to be a part of this team.”

Ghadeer Yassin, Intern - UIC

“I have had the opportunity to work with the company since May 2001, which has been such a valuable and rewarding experience for me, especially during my last three years at pharmacy school. I have been able to implement the knowledge that I have learned at school and build upon that knowledge from the pharmacists that I work with. They have helped me improve my patient counseling skills, guided me on building my confidence as a future pharmacist, and let me know that they want to make sure that I am the best pharmacist that I can be when I graduate. I truly have seen the advantage I have had as a pharmacy student working for the company and look forward to having the opportunity to be with the company for a long time to come.”

Melissa Molitor, Intern - Midwestern University

“Working for Jewel-Osco has truly been a rewarding experience. The pharmacists are extremely knowledgeable and are always willing to answer any questions that may arise. They have taught me how to be compassionate, empathetic, confident, and most importantly, a good communicator. Without the help and guidance of the pharmacists at Jewel-Osco, I would not have known what it takes to become a truly amazing pharmacist whom has a profound impact on his or her patients. I can only hope that one day I will be able to follow in the great footsteps that have been taken before me.”

Kelly Mattes, Intern - UIC

“Last summer I was involved in the internship program and had an overall great experience. The program helped me further develop the knowledge I had already learned and introduced me to useful over-the-counter information. I also had the opportunity to spend the summer at a pharmacy resident location. Not only did I receive great input from my preceptor, but I was also exposed to the separate MTM room and everything the pharmacy resident got to do. Being able to take blood pressure readings and counsel patients on diabetic supplies was self-gratifying and showed me just how much our pharmacists can offer at SUPERVALU. From helping out the resident to meeting several district managers and company leaders, I believe my experience in the program will benefit me greatly and shape me in becoming a successful pharmacist of the future.”

Liz Panek, Intern - Touro College of Pharmacy

“My experience at Jewel-Osco gave me the confidence to be a leader; I am currently Vice President of my pharmacy class at Touro College of Pharmacy New York and am very involved in committees and service in my community. I hope to take this leadership role further in my pharmacist career, where I may work closely with my staff and patients. As a Certified Pharmacy Technician for over five years with Jewel-Osco, I have brought all of my work experience into the classroom, and it has strengthened me as a student. I am proud to be a Jewel-Osco pharmacy associate, and look forward to a long-lasting relationship with the company.”

Rebecca Gayle, Intern - University of California, San Francisco

“The Sav-On summer internship program was an incredibly valuable experience that I am so glad I had the opportunity to take advantage of! Not only did I learn important information about the most widely prescribed classes of drugs, but I also got the chance to thoroughly practice my counseling skills. Everything about this program - the content, the focus on learning, the preceptors, and my fellow interns - was amazing, and it was great professional learning experience that I highly recommend!”

Kessee Stewart, Intern - University of California, San Diego

“The summer intern program was an extremely valuable and fun experience. It
allowed me to apply some of my classroom knowledge to a real world setting
and also expanded my view of retail pharmacy. It was great to work with
the other interns in my area and participate in group projects. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!”

Chase Earling, Intern - Washington State University

“The Summer Intern Program really allowed me to combine what I have learned in class and put it to practical use. I really enjoyed working with my fellow interns and preceptors because I learned a great deal from each of them. This Summer Intern Program is extremely beneficial and a wonderful learning experience!”

Brian Sears, Intern - University of California, San Diego

“The structure of the program was well-rounded with a variety of opportunities ranging from presentations to disease specific learning activities. This experience was great for someone, like me, who was new to community pharmacy or someone interested in working with a great company like SUPERVALU.”

Angela Scott, Intern - OSU College of Pharmacy

“I had a great summer learning about different disease states, and putting together projects to present to the community and my peers. My preceptor taught me more than I could have expected, and I got to apply what I learned during the program and in school to work in the pharmacy. I also enjoyed seeing the business side of running a pharmacy--something that we're not taught in school. I have recommended this program to all of my classmates!”

Shane Anderson, Intern - Washington State University

“The summer intership program put together by Albertson-Savon Pharmacy was a one of a kind experience that allows individuals to do more than just fill prescriptions. It allowed me as a future health care professional to increase my knowledge through weekly assignments, apply my knowledge and improve my communication skills through a weekly work schedule, interact and build relationships with other pharmacy students, and get out into the community to enhance my clinical skills.”

Jennifer Grant, Intern - Hampton University

“The summer internship program was a great learning experience and one of the best decisions I made toward my career in pharmacy. I participated in the program after completing my second year of pharmacy school to help prepare me for my rotations during my fourth year. After completing the program I felt more prepared than when I started. The program not only provided a structured learning environment but also provided hands-on experience. I would recommend this program to future interns.”

Annie Dinh, Intern - Mercer

“The Summer Intern program was great! It was borth informative and educational, and it was more than I could have expected. The recruiters and staff that I got to meet were all very supportive and helpful. This program really reinforced my decision to become a pharmacist!”
