Clinical Pharmacy is concerned with optimizing and sharing the responsibility for drug therapy management and the outcomes of patients within an institutional or ambulatory-care practice setting. Community Pharmacy involves the delivery of pharmaceutical care in the community setting and the changing roles of pharmacists in the community. The Honors and Undergraduate Research Committee is also available for counseling and advice for students who are having difficulty selecting a suitable advisor. You should meet with several faculty members in your area of interest and inquire about the nature of the potential projects. Do not feel intimidated by your initial lack of familiarity with or understanding of the details of the faculty's research.
Faculty members enjoy describing their research projects to eager students.
Before deciding on a particular project, you should ask the faculty member what will be expected of you so that there is no misunderstanding at a later date. As a rule of thumb, 3-4 hours of work per week per credit is expected. However, time alone does not guarantee that a project will be successfully completed. In the ideal case, you along with your mentor, should design a project which can be completed within your time limitations. If you are in the Honors Program your project should be designed such that it will result in a well written thesis that you can be proud of and which will make a meaningful contribution to the discipline.
