PHARMACY ROTC The Pharmacy Reserve Oflicers' Training Corps program is conducted under a joint agreement of the Medical Services of the United States Army and the United States Air Force. When the ROTC student is selected for advanced training in pharmaceutical mili- tary science, he expresses his choice for the service in which he will be appointed. The United State Air Force receives 30 per cent of the graduates of the program, while the remaining 70 per cent enter the United States Army. All graduates are appointed Second Lieutenants in the Medical Service Corps of either service. It is interesting to note that the present Pharmacy ROTC class of thirty-Hve students is the largest graduating class in the Nation to receive Reserve Commissions in the Medical Service Corps of the United States Army and the United States Air Force. The greatest benefit to the individual Pharmacy ROTC student from ROTC training is its development of leadership qualities. Leadership, the ability to organize and direct the activities of others, is in high demand by business, industry, medical science. and the military service.
