​Looking for a community rotation site? We want YOU with US.

Here at Gammel's Clinical Pharmacy we are dedicated to improving the pharmacy profession. One of the many ways we accomplish this is by heavily investing in our students. Our 80+ students have gone on to shape the future of pharmacy and we want to equip you with the knowledge and experience necessary to be apart of that change. While here, you will have the opportunity to be active in our business and we designed the experiences in such a way to be an integral part of our daily life.

Your Preceptor

Dr. Eric Shoffner, Pharm.D.

I am a retired, 26 year, upper Walmart management guy. My wife and I now own and manage 2 independent community pharmacies in 2 rural Arkansas towns, Newport and Crossett. In the past 5 years we have precepted for UAMS, Harding, and ULM and have had over 80 students in our stores. We have a consistent message and use Google Classroom to maintain a constant guide to help keep us on track. We take our role seriously and enjoy every minute of it. We also provide housing for our store in Crossett, Arkansas and make concessions for our Newport location through time management. Each student visits each store to see first hand our built store and our bought store. Our time spent with our students is a labor of love and we know it shows.
​Thank you. Eric and Katrina Shoffner

Advance Pharmacy Practice Experience

Housing

We understand that pharmacy school presents many challenges both mentally and financially. To top it off, field rotations add an extra layer of logistics to the pile. We have remedied a way to combat the heavy load by providing a FREE housing option to those visiting our location in Crossett, Arkansas. The house will be located on our personal property and will feature full-front access of our backyard and in-ground pool. The floor plan includes one full-size bed, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a 36" shower, and two loft spaces for extra storage. Our student occupant will have their own set of keys and may come and go as they please.
