UCSF School of Pharmacy
Won't it be just as easy for me to get the HSPR skills after I graduate?
No. Since the coursework and practicum experience is not typical of a pharmacy education or other health professional education, acquisition of the skills through the Health Services & Policy Research Pathway represents a significant jump start to your career.
Because this pathway was not available when a number of the HSPR faculty obtained their degrees, like others who do not take the pathway, they obtained HSPR skills through on-the-job experience and post graduate education. This is a longer and more expensive overall process.
