The Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum is being transformed to adapt
to changes in the healthcare as well as education including a
significant expansion of interprofessional education and practice
activities (new curriculum launches Fall 2017).
New Clinical Initiatives:
Developed an infrastructure to support the expanded clinical
service enterprise. Services include pharmacy practice

medication therapy management, disease state management, and
transitions of care. The clinical services also serve as scholarly
laboratories for new models of practice and education.
In Fall 2014, the College opened the Medication Therapy Call
Center which aims to optimize medication therapy management
for individuals throughout the state.
