--------The Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Pathway Program-------- Program Objectives The Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Pathway Program is designed to provide pharmacists throughout Georgia the opportunity to earn the Pharm.D. degree while they continue to practice pharmacy. The educational approach for this program - learning in a work environment - combines the latest in adult education and distance learning methodologies with contemporary pharmacy practice. Pharmacists who earn the advanced degree will be prepared to provide up-to-date, collaborative and clinically sound pharmaceutical care, therapeutics management, and drug therapy monitoring. The professional curriculum will require mastery of the same competencies established for the traditional full-time Pharm.D. program but will utilize, where possible, flexible schedules and nontraditional teaching formats. In order to more efficiently respond to the growing demand from pharmacists in the state for the Pharm.D. degree, Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy (Mercer) and The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy (UGA) have joined forces to jointly design, teach and administer the Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Pathway Program. Students will select the institution from which they would like to receive their degree. |
