Six years of coursework are required, with the first two years at another college and the last four years at CCP. The College has two paths leading to the Pharm. D. degree: 1. Students will be enrolled in the full-time traditional Pharm.D. Program with the start of the first professional year. 2. Students who are registered pharmacists and have a valid U.S. or Canadian pharmacist license can apply to the Nontraditional Pharm.D. Program. This is a self-paced, largely self-instructional, flexibly scheduled program in which a part-time student can complete degree requirements over approximately two to four years. This program is being phased out and is no longer accepting students. Supported by a CCP faculty mentor, small groups of students work together to complete projects and assignments, and gain extensive clinical knowledge. The fourth professional year provides immersion in hands-on learning at diverse clinical rotation sites, emphasizing problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills. Settings include community pharmacies, hospitals, managed care facilities, physician offices, and other rural and urban sites. Program Expectations CCP educates and graduates competent and motivated pharmacists who will provide pharmaceutical care in a wide range of community and institutional settings. CCP\\\'s standards for admission outline the academic abilities considered essential for students to achieve the level of competence required by faculty and by the ACPE, the pharmacy accrediting agency, to obtain the Pharm.D. degree. Candidates must have abilities and skills in five areas: 1) observation; 2) communication; 3) motor; 4) intellectual, conceptual, integrative, and quantitative; and 5) behavioral and social. Technological compensation can be made for some limitation in certain of these areas, but candidates should be able to perform in a reasonably independent manner. Mission Chicago College of Pharmacy (CCP) fosters lifelong learning through excellence in education, postgraduate programs, and scholarship. The College encourages the development of professional attitudes and behaviors to prepare pharmacists who will provide exemplary patient care in a culturally diverse society.
