TEACHING
The College of Pharmacy consistently ranks among the top three pharmacy schools in the country for the quality of its PharmD program. Faculty fill a variety of roles in the educational process, including course director, lecturer, discussant, seminar participant, and others. In addition to these classroom roles, faculty also serves as mentors and advisors to students, providing them with one-on-one training and counsel as they prepare for their careers.
In 2019, ECP faculty contributed significant, didactic education to PharmD classes. This instruction included teaching and directing the required pharmacotherapy series and the pharmaceutical care skills course sequence, as well as teaching elective courses. Instruction to pharmacy students also included experiential education in acute care, geriatric patient care, pediatric infectious disease, and clinical toxicology. The department also offers a research emphasis track for PharmD students which pairs students with an advisor(s) in the Clinical Pharmacology Research Emphasis program. In addition to coursework, students choose a research topic in experimental, translational, or clinical pharmacology for their PharmD paper project.
ECP faculty also teach graduate program classes. While these are primarily designed to support the department’s own graduate students, the courses also include students in nursing, public health, geriatrics, and genetics, as well as graduate students in other College of Pharmacy programs.
