component designed to develop graduates

therapy, providing drug information, and relating
effectively to patients and other health
professionals; (3) motivation to increase competency
after graduation through continuing
education; and (4) an opportunity to engage in meaningful scientific research in preparation
for further study in pharmaceutical and
clinical sciences.
