| Curriculum | Mercer’s Doctor of Pharmacy degree program requires seven years of study following high school: a minimum of three years of pre-pharmacy education at a regionallyaccredited college/university and four years of professional curriculum at the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Mercer’s Doctor of Pharmacy program is designed to provide the scholastic expertise and clinical acumen necessary to give high-quality patient care in a variety of health care settings. The College offers three special curricular opportunities during the fourth professional year: an Advanced Clinical Track Program, an International Pharmacy Practice Experience, and an Indian Health Service Practice Experience. The College also offers focus areas that enhance the generalist Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Students pursuing these focus areas receive certificates of achievement upon completion of didactic and experiential coursework. These certificates of achievement may allow for practice in specialized areas. Current focus areas include: Academic Pharmacy, Community Pharmacy Ownership, Contemporary Compounding, Diabetes Care, Geriatrics, Leadership, Medication Therapy Management, and Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery. Mercer also has a combined Pharm.D./MBA program and a combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. program. |
| Additional Requirements | Mercer’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences uses the PharmCAS application (www.pharmcas.org). A supplemental application is also required from all applicants. Grades for all undergraduate coursework attempted are considered in the admissions process. All applicants are required to take the PCAT and submit scores to PharmCAS. The competitive GPA and PCAT in order to qualify for a required personal interview with the Admissions Committee is determined by the overall strength of the applicant pool. The application deadline for the class entering in August 2011 is February 1, 2011. Due to the large number of applicants and limited number of positions available, acceptance is competitive and selective. Mercer follows a “rolling admissions” policy. Qualified applicants are accepted to the Doctor of Pharmacy program on a continual basis until the class has been filled. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Classes commence in August of each year. |
