Individuals who complete this program will meet the same terminal performance objectives as students who complete the school's traditional doctor of pharmacy program. Although each student brings to the program a different level of practical experience, knowledge and skill developed throughout a practice career, there will not be any assessment of prior learning and no didactic credit will be given. All didactic coursework must be completed in a given tier before moving to the next tier. Tiers 1 and 2 must be completed within three years after program initiation. Didactic coursework is available on a self-instructional basis with strong faculty support.
Experiential rotations utilize practice sites in a variety of locations.
In addition to receiving academic credit towards the requirements for the doctor of pharmacy degree, it also enables individuals to receive academic credit on a nondegree basis. This program is designed to serve as a vehicle to deliver a desired core of unique expertise and experience in contemporary, clinically-oriented pharmacy practice.
