Will the Practicum Research Project be demanding?

Yes. Our focus in the Pharmaceutical Health Policy & Management (PHPM) Pathway is on data evaluation and interpretation for real-world decision making. This is inherently a challenging and exciting process, requiring commitment. Our specialized coursework, low student to faculty ratio, and focus on applied projects ensure that our students will be successful.

Generally speaking, our graduates have looked back on their research experience as an important step to defining their unique character as professionals of pharmaceutical care. For details, see The PHPM Research Project.
