ASP is starting an explorer scouting crew. Exploring is Learning for Life’s career education program for men and women who are 14 (and have completed the 8th grade) or 15 to 20 years old. The program’s primary goal is to expose youth to the multidimensional aspects of and the varied occupations in health. Health Careers Exploring is a nationwide program for male and female students interested in pursuing a health career.
Health Careers Exploring helps youth explore career fields, assists in character development, and helps them develop social and life skills. The program is done in health organizations and schools nationwide. Health Careers Exploring is an action-learning program. By providing hands-on, work-related activities to students, members of the health professions and health organizations help youth explore the skills, intricacies, demands, and needs of various health careers We will be meeting every other week with the scouts and in these meetings student pharmacists will lead the scouts in learning about different aspects of the profession of pharmacy. We will be deciding the exact schedule for the meetings in a few weeks, but the topics will include instruction on blood pressure, blood glucose, asthma, and others. We will also go on site visits and show the scouts what pharmacists to in practice. If you are interested in participating or have questions please email Mitchell Lingerfelt (
