Working Professional Doctor of Pharmacy Program
|
University of Florida Working Professional Doctor of Pharmacy Degree Program has been specifically designed to meet the needs of today's working professional. The program is comprised of nine semesters of study covering body system disorders.
The program utilizes a combination of:
- Group interaction
- Video Lecture Presentations
- Internet based content and communication
- Competency based evaluations
Each semester consists of three full days of group interaction, videotaped faculty lectures viewed by the student, competency - based clinical practice assessments, course material accessible through the Internet, and communication to faculty, professors, and fellow study group members via e-mail.
This format allows students to maximize their time and energies spent in attaining their Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
TODAY'S MARKETPLACE
The marketplace for today's pharmaceutical professional has dramatically changed in recent years. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy has recently reaffirmed its support of the Pharm.D. as the sole entry-level degree, ultimately displacing the B.S. Degree.
In addition, managed care demands that today's pharmacist be a knowledgeable "consultant" regarding disease State management and clinical interventions.
To remain competitive, today's pharmacy professional must enhance their skill set for intervention to proactively manage the patient population they serve.
Realizing that today's professional has numerous demands on their time...spouse, children, a full-time position, etc...., the College of Pharmacy has pioneered and tailored the Multi-Model Delivery System and targeted it for the working professional.
The Multi-Model Delivery System results in proven skills and knowledge that earn the professional, and the organization they work for, a competitive advantage.
