| Curriculum | PCOM School of Pharmacy - Georgia Campus offers a four year Pharm.D. degree that will emphasize patient-centered care, a practice of pharmacy in which the practitioner assumes responsibility for a patient’s medication-related needs and is held accountable for this commitment. The program will educate pharmacists who prepare and provide drug products and assume responsibility for the rational use of drugs by contributing to the design, implementation, monitoring and modification of therapeutic plans that will achieve defined goals and improve therapeutic outcomes. This model is consistent with the applied emphasis of PCOM’s graduate and medical programs. The curriculum is composed of courses in Biomedical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Social/Behavioral/Administrative Sciences, and Clinical Sciences. A number of elective courses will be available to allow students to enhance their knowledge of pharmacy related topics in specific areas. There are five Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) in which students are given exposure to pharmacy practice at a variety of different practice sites and begin their handson experience. The final year of the program consists of the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE) in which students are required to complete 8 different rotations, each consisting of 5 weeks at a particular pharmacy practice site. |
| Additional Requirements | Admission to PCOM School of Pharmacy - Georgia Campus is competitive and selective. The school is seeking well-rounded, achievement oriented individuals whose maturity and dedication will lead them to a successful career as a pharmacist. Acceptance into the school by the Admissions Committee is based on 1) the applicant’s fulfillment of a minimum of 60 semester hours of prerequisite coursework from an accredited college or university, 2) overall and science grade point average (GPA), 3) Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) scores, 4) prior pharmacy experience and a personal interview. A baccalaureate degree (or graduate or other professional degrees) is not required for admission to the PCOM School of Pharmacy, but students possessing a previous degree will be given additional consideration for admission. Competitive applicants must have obtained an overall cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all coursework completed. All science and math prerequisites must have been completed within the last 10 years with a letter grade of “C” or higher. There is no minimum score for the PCAT, however composite scores < 50% or individual subtest scores < 25% are less likely to be competitive. PCOM School of Pharmacy - Georgia Campus participates in the Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS). In addition, a supplemental application available from the PCOM School of Pharmacy website is also required. Admissions materials consist of: • PharmCAS Application • Supplemental Application, including an autobiographical statement • Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work • Three letters of recommendation • $50 Supplemental Application fee • Pharmacy College Admissions Test All applications are processed at the main campus in Philadelphia. All Interviews are conducted at the Georgia Campus in Suwanee and will be scheduled through email using the email address indicated on your admissions application. Please check your email frequently and be sure to notify us of any change. Along with the completed application, including an autobiographical statement, all official transcripts and a $50 application fee, three letters of recommendation are needed: ideally one academic letter, one letter from a practicing pharmacist; and one letter from a work supervisor. All applicants are required to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT) and have their scores submitted either through PharmCAS or directly to the PCOM Office of Admissions. |
