Clinical Seminar

On the 11th floor of Jackson Towers is where the weekly clinical seminar class  will be held. Clinical seminar gives each student a chance to discuss strengths and weaknesses of their rotations. Also, clinical seminar time is used in order to freshen up on drug information and other pertinent news about the world of pharmacy practice. In the past many guest speakers have stopped by to share their experiences as pharmacy practitioners or in the field of healthcare in general. 

The class is usually held Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. The class can last anywhere from 1 ½ hours to 3 hours depending on the topic. The class will be split into groups. Each group will report to there assigned faculty member who will act as their research preceptor. Each group will be given a topic to present to the class during clinical seminar. Not only will there be group presentations, but also individual presentations called journal clubs. A journal club is simply a critique of an accredited journal presented to your peers and FAMU faculty members. These journal clubs as well as the group presentations go toward your final grade in clinical seminar. Overall, clinical seminar should prove very useful in helping each of you mature into well-rounded professionals!

Parking Situation 

The parking garage facilities at Jackson Towers are not economically realistic for weekly use for clinical seminar and/or rotations in the area. The available locations are Lot E (northside of Jackson Towers), Jackson Towers garage, or VA visitor parking. Lot E always has available parking, but for a monthly fee. Ms. Crombie facilitates Lot E access and is the best solution for a 4 week rotation in that area. If you need a spot only for Wednesday clinical seminar meetings, then VA visitor parking is best. Unless you have no choice, the garage will gladly offer you a parking spot for $1 per 1/2 hour or $8 maximum for the day. Go see the Jackson Medical Towers tour for a better view of the parking in the area.    

Coffee Shop  

The coffee shop in the main lobby of Jackson Towers is a great place to get a decent sandwich, a cappucino, or a those of you who need a complete jumpstart .... enjoy a cortadito before clinical meetings.
