The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) Pharmacy Department deployed eleven (11) fourth-year BS Pharmacy student-interns on October 6, 2026, for their 300-hour Industrial Pharmacy Internship at Unilab facilities, First Pioneer Distribution, Inc. and Amherst Laboratories, in Biñan City, Laguna.
The deployment marks a milestone in the program’s efforts to strengthen experiential learning through its collaboration with the Philippine Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (PACOP), of which USLT is a regular member, and Unilab Education.
Through the internship, the student-pharmacists will gain practical exposure to pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, allowing them to connect their academic preparation with industry practices and develop competencies relevant to their future careers.
Meanwhile, the interns are accompanied by Ms. Rhealyn A. Legaspi, RPh, Pharmacy Internship Coordinator, and Mr. Vic Valiant O. Laureta, RPh, CPh, MS Pharm, Pharmacy Department Head. The experience reflects USLT’s commitment to preparing future pharmacists for professional practice through industry-based learning opportunities.
The university wishes its student-interns a meaningful and enriching internship as they continue their journey toward becoming competent and service-oriented pharmacists.
Significantly, the internship supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education by providing practical, industry-based learning experiences that strengthen students’ professional competencies. It also advances SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through collaboration among USLT, PACOP, and Unilab Education in enhancing pharmacy education and professional preparation.
