Doctor's degree Pharmacy - Pacific University

Doctor's degree Pharmacy from Pacific University is a Campus Ph.D Pharmacy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. The pharmacist is an integral member of an interdisciplinary health care team focused on improving health care outcomes of patients. As the leading source for accurate and timely drug information, the pharmacist contributes to patient safety, alleviation of symptoms, prevention of disease, and reduced health care costs. Pharmacists can choose to work in a wide variety of professional settings. Although the majority of pharmacists work in community pharmacies (independent or chain), many other opportunities exist in health-systems, industry, nursing home, managed care, home infusion, and academic settings. The School of Pharmacy offers a 3-year professional curriculum leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.). Students attend the program on a year-round basis. The curriculum is composed of two didactic years followed by one clinical clerkship year. During the first two academic years, students spend one day every other week in a patient care/pharmacy setting gaining experience that supports the classroom material. The curriculum is based on a modified-block design that allows the sequential delivery of courses rather than the more traditional method of teaching multiple courses at the same time. Students are not assigned letter grades in the curriculum but are instead assigned either a \\\"pass\\\" or \\\"no-pass\\\" based on achievement of 90% of stated competencies. Students are assessed every two weeks during the first 2 years of the curriculum. Students who do not achieve the necessary level of competency are given opportunities for extended learning. Extended learning opportunities occur immediately following each semester. View more details on Pacific University .
