| Curriculum | The UCSF School of Pharmacy is dedicated to educating pharmacists who think critically; advocate for patient-centered care; work as equal partners alongside physicians, nurses, and other health care colleagues; and lead the profession to assume new responsibilities in the increasingly complex world of medicines. Our Pharm.D. curriculum consists of four years of full-time study. All students take a required core curriculum and select an emphasis in one of three pathways -- Pharmaceutical Care (PC), Health Services and Policy Research (HSPR), or Pharmaceutical Sciences (PS). The PC Pathway prepares students to use their clinical knowledge and skills to manage drug therapy for patients with acute and chronic diseases, work with health care teams to provide cost-effective care, and provide medication consultation to families and caregivers. The HSPR Pathway examines how people get access to health care, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care. The PS Pathway offers a unique and innovative curriculum designed for students interested in pharmaceutical research within academia, industry, or governmental agencies. |
| Additional Requirements | Applicants for admission must be eligible for admission to the University of California. A minimum GPA of 2.8 in undergraduate coursework and a minimum of 92 quarter/ 62 semester units of prerequisite work are required. The UCSF School of Pharmacy is committed to admitting Pharm.D. students who have diverse cultural, economic, and social backgrounds. Although grade point average is an important factor, it is not the sole consideration in admissions. In addition to intellectual and academic competence, the School’s admissions committee considers communication skills, leadership ability, community service, health care-related or research experience, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy. Upon an initial review of applications, 250 - 300 applicants are invited to the campus for a required interview which takes place in January/February. Admissions decisions are finalized and applicants are notified of their status by the end of March. Applications are accepted annually from July through November 1. Applicants must apply through the Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) at www.pharmcas.org. A supplemental application available at http://pharmacy.ucsf.edu/pharmd/admissions is also required by the November 1 deadline. |
