Pharmacy

The RFUMS Program

The primary goal of the PharmD Program is to prepare students to be competent, caring, ethical professionals ready to assume the responsibilities of an entry level pharmacist. The curriculum is laid out with clear objectives and competencies and employs frequent assessment to assure continuity of student progression throughout the program. The curriculum comprises multiple learning and assessment strategies, is competency-based and includes reinforcement of basic scientific principles and early exposure to clinical situations. The program is designed to encourage self-initiated learning, critical thinking and communication skills to provide optimal pharmaceutical care to a culturally and ethnically diverse patient population.
 

Commitment to Interprofessionalism

Our commitment to graduate healthcare training starts with our students studying side by side with their colleagues from multiple health professions. The interprofessional curriculum at the College of Pharmacy at Rosalind Franklin University mirrors that of the professional environment where pharmacists interact with physicians and multiple healthcare providers on a daily basis. Our training prepares you to be a confident and inventive leader in all aspects of pharmacy practice. The innovative technology readily available from the classroom to the laboratory allows students to prepare our students for careers in multiple settings. Opportunities range from traditional community and hospital clinical rotations to experiences in public health, academia and the pharmaceutical industry. RFUMS desires to enroll students who present evidence of strong preparation for a career in pharmacy paired with bold leadership and initiative.
