Department of Pharmacy Practice

The Department of Pharmacy Practice builds on the fundamentals of pharmaceutical sciences so that students gain the knowledge and expertise to become skilled pharmacy practitioners once they complete the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree program. The department provides instruction for some of the courses leading up to the B.S. in pharmaceutical sciences degree and is responsible for the majority of the curriculum in the last two years of the professional program (P3 and P4) leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. The department's faculty also precept students on advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) and provide pharmacy services at community pharmacies, clinics and health systems throughout the state.

Pharmacy students break ground, make memories in Vietnamese rotation

Sierra Schmiedt wanted to stretch herself by learning in an unfamiliar setting. Tony Tran wanted to build on a favorable study abroad experience as a high school student and visit the country of his heritage. That is how the then-South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University pharmacy students ended up in Vietnam for five weeks for their final Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences rotation. For Schmiedt, getting there was the biggest challenge. For both of them, it was an unforgettable experience they wholly recommend to other pharmacy students.
