The State of the Pharmacy Profession Has Changed. Are You Ready?
PHARMACY CAREER INFORMATION
Major advancements in pharmaceuticals over the past decade have made the pharmacist’s job more important than ever. Colleges and universities have already responded and now require all future pharmacists to earn the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree.
While today’s entry-level pharmacy students are earning the doctorate, many currently practicing pharmacists lack the credentials to compete for advancement opportunities. Fortunately, working pharmacists have found a solution in the University of Florida’s Pharm.D. program, designed exclusively for licensed, practicing pharmacists who want to continue practicing while earning their Pharm.D.
The benefits of carrying the Pharm.D. designation are numerous. Most importantly, the advanced knowledge earned in the WPPD empowers you to be a better pharmacist, for your own satisfaction and for your patients’ well being. It allows you to understand the deeper implications of patient illnesses and accompanying drug therapies. It enables you to become an advanced practitioner of pharmaceutical and patient care.
Moreover, earning the Pharm.D. will allow you to defend your career position as new entry-level pharmacists enter the field with the Pharm.D. already behind them. Looking toward retirement, most of our students find it critical to hold the Pharm.D. to insure they will stay on an advancing career track and income level as they envisioned when they first attended pharmacy school.
The University of Florida Working Professional Doctor of Pharmacy invites and encourages you to keep your career decisions in your own hands. Earn your Pharm.D. with the leading Pharm.D. program for working pharmacists—and "Write Your Own Script."
