Introduction
The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum at Texas A&M Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy prepares professional student pharmacists to enter the pharmacy profession with the knowledge, skills, and experience expected of highly-trained health care professionals. We graduated from our four-year program practice pharmacy in a broad range of clinical and community settings in Texas and across the nation. Our curriculum prepares students to be successful, regardless of the setting in which they choose to practice (e.g., hospital pharmacy).
To that end, faculty-driven content is provided to develop the curriculum in biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, social/behavioural/administrative sciences, and clinical sciences. The curriculum is sequenced and integrated with a planned blend of teaching and learning methods. All graduates' professional competencies are systematically assessed by direct and indirect methods and administered by college faculty and affiliated professional pharmacists. Attainment of the desired student learning outcomes is assessed using formative and summative evaluations to confirm the curricular design. The program's primary goal is to provide a comprehensive pharmacy education in a stimulating environment that prepares students for pharmacy practice as competent, caring, and ethical professionals dedicated to the provision of optimal pharmaceutical care.
One-third of your classes, including all of your fourth year, will be spent training in clinics and hospitals. Experiential Education gets you out of the classroom and into real-world settings. Our preceptors, faculty who teach and mentor in clinical settings, provide valuable on-the-job pharmacy experience.
Rotations provide exposure to a variety of clinical settings and allow students to work alongside other health professions. Students complete six rotations at locations including Houston, Bryan/College Station, Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley, Round Rock, and Temple. This is more than just an educational experience; preceptors and rotation sites can help provide networking and career opportunities after graduation.
