We are facing that challenge with the entry-level Pharm. D. program, a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The extensive educational program will prepare the pharmacist, as a disease manager, to be a member of the disease management team consisting of physicians, non-physician providers and other allied health professionals. The pharmaceutical sciences derive their basic strengths from the interdisciplinary nature of the programs. Thus, medicinal chemistry, resting securely on a foundation of creative synthetic organic chemistry, expands to use biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology, and computational chemistry.
Biochemical pharmacology embraces chemistry, molecular biology, physiology and biochemistry.
If you, like me, find expanding horizons a cause for excitement, enjoy the stimulation of interdisciplinary pursuits and welcome a career of disciplined diversity, I offer you a sincere invitation to join us.
