    Pharmacy School Admissions Guide Pharmacy is the branch of health sciences that deals with the preparation, dispensing, and proper utilization of drugs. A pharmacist is a health care professional who is licensed to prepare and sell or dispose of drugs and compounds and can make up prescriptions. Most pharmacy schools do not require you to complete an undergraduate major, though you may be more competitive for admission with a degree. Each school varies in its expectations of successful applicants, so the best places to check for the latest information are the websites of the schools in which you are most interested, and the admissions officers at those schools. The UA Health Professions Advising Office can assist you as well. PREREQUISITES: It is critical to be aware of the pharmacy school admission requirements early on in college so that you can arrange your coursework appropriately. Unlike many other health professional schools, each pharmacy school varies considerably in what courses it expects of its applicants. The undergraduate requirements at the two Alabama pharmacy schools, The McWhorter School of Pharmacy at Samford University and the Harrison School of Pharmacy at Auburn University, for example: SAMFORD AUBURN General Chemistry: CH 101 and CH 102 or honors General CH 101 and CH 102 or honors equivalent Chemistry: equivalent Organic Chemistry: CH 231, CH 232, and CH 237 (lab) Organic CH 231, CH 232, and CH 237 (lab) Chemistry: Anatomy and BSC 215 and BSC 216 (or BSC 400, Anatomy and BSC 215 and BSC 216 (or BSC 400, Physiology:

  • Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University Pharmacy Postgraduate Education Hello. My Name Is Mark Johnson and I
    Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University Pharmacy Postgraduate Education Hello. My name is Mark Johnson and I’m on faculty here at the SU BJD SOP and Director of Postgraduate Education. I’m very glad to hear of your interest in pharmacy and Shenandoah University. Pharmacy is a very exciting field offering many opportunities from community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, drug industry, regulatory affairs, and many others. Some positions in pharmacy now may prefer or require some advanced training after completion of the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. This advanced postgraduate training includes residencies, fellowships, and other graduate degrees. The Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy has a long track record of success and involvement in postgraduate pharmacy training. All of these postgraduate pharmacy education programs are highly competitive and students apply in their fourth year of pharmacy school. Residency training is divided into two postgraduate years. Postgraduate year one (PGY-1) offers more generalized training, providing residents exposure to a broad range of disease states and patients. These residencies are done at hospitals, community pharmacies, managed care pharmacies, and ambulatory care clinics. Postgraduate year two (PGY-2) emphasizes a specific area of interest and helps lead to specialization in that field (such as critical care, oncology, pediatrics, etc.). Fellowships focus more on research and are often associated with Schools of Pharmacy and drug industry. There are also graduate degree programs as

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report Our Pharmacy Community Consistently Strives for Excellence and We Are Proud of What We’Ve Accomplished in the Past Year
    THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 2017-2018 Annual Report Our pharmacy community consistently strives for excellence and we are proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past year. Improving medications and medication-related health outcomes remains at the core of everything we do. Our students and alumni are motivated to make a difference, and as you can see from this report, they are doing just that. This year, our students were recognized on-campus and around the country for their dedication to this profession and making a difference in the lives of their patients. Two student organizations received university awards for their community service efforts and passion for enhancing diversity, while undergraduate and professional students were celebrated for their commitment to their studies, research and the community. Our students weren’t the only ones who experienced success this year; our faculty and staff expanded on the college’s strong research and outreach efforts. The college ranked 12th in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and exceeded our seven-year average of peer-reviewed publications. Our partnerships flourished and we were able to provide more support to the community than ever before through presentations, live performances, screenings and medication therapy management reviews. Of course, none of this hard work would be possible if it weren’t for our incredible alumni, donors and friends. This year, donations to The Ohio State Fund for Pharmacy were up more than 7% and we reached our annual giving goal two months early. While the pages that follow showcase just a snapshot of all our accomplishments from the past year, I hope you feel a sense of Buckeye pride as you read through the report.

  • Pharmacy (Pharmd)
    Pharmacy (PharmD) • The Doctor of Pharmacy prepares students for a demanding and rapidly evolving profession. Pharmacists are medication experts who are concerned about their patients’ health and wellness. • Pharmacists are on the frontline of healthcare. Because people often feel comfortable approaching pharmacists and seeking advice from them, they are important in providing information and for connecting patients with additional care. • Pharmacists’ responsibilities go well beyond dispensing medications. They monitor patient health and progress with a medication, educate people on medication use, administer immunizations, adjust medications and dosages, advise physicians and other healthcare providers on medication decisions, and monitor prescriptions for drug interactions. Education & Licensure • A Doctor of Pharmacy program requires at least two years of undergraduate pre-pharmacy study followed by four academic years of study in the professional level program. • For Purdue’s program, most students enter as freshmen in the pre-pharmacy program and apply to the Pharm.D. professional program in their second year. If admitted, they continue for 4 more years to become pharmacists. • Students may also begin their studies in another area and apply to Purdue’s pharmacy program or another pharmacy school. Some students complete their 4 year undergraduate degree while others apply to pharmacy programs after 60 or 90 credit hours. • Some schools will require an admissions exam called the PCAT (the Pharmacy College Admission Test). • To practice, students must complete their Pharm.D., spend a specified number of hours in a practice setting, and pass a licensure exam and, in most states, a pharmacy law exam. • Certain areas of pharmaceutical practice may require a 1-2 year residency program and/or fellowship after graduating.
