PGCert in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Administration

This certificate introduces PharmD students to clinical research. It combines two didactic courses with an advanced practice rotation placed alongside working clinical researchers. Study covers how trials are designed and the regulations governing them, preparing students for careers coordinating studies, managing trials or administering research. The certificate is open to campus-based students already enrolled in the PharmD program. It is conferred at the same time as the PharmD degree once coursework and the experiential component are passed. Its twelve credits are small enough to complete alongside the doctorate, giving students extra credentials without lengthening their time in the program. Prospective students can request information or start an application through the program page, which also links to faculty profiles and further details about what a typical course of study involves.
