Won't it be just as easy for me to get the HPM 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 Pharmaceutical Health Policy & Management (PHPM) Pathway represents a significant jump start to your career.

Because this pathway was not available when a number of the PHPM faculty obtained their degrees, like others who do not take the pathway, they obtained PHPM skills through on-the-job experience and post graduate education. This is a longer and more expensive overall process.
