Based on experience with those that have come from Creighton's pharmacy program, I have not been terribly impressed. But as mentioned by someone else, there can be still be exceptional high performers - the key word being exception.Well, the problem is, I actually WAS kidding about the engineering scholarship. Nobody is offering me a scholarship to go anywhere. So between LECOM and Creighton, I'm thinking Creighton is probably the better choice?
Well, my sample size is like 5, so make of it what you will. One of them was a licensed, practicing, hospital pharmacist who did not know that ciprofloxacin could be used to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa and when a physician asked what the difference between moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin were, his answer was "it's just another quinolone". Again, I don't know how much of it is a reflection of his person and how much of it is a reflection of the school. I don't doubt though, that there are very good pharmacists trained from Creighton. There's a school here in California that shall remain unnamed that preceptors and students have all said have P4s that don't meet expectations for what a 4th-year should know, yet I know exceptional pharmacists from this school as well.I'm surprised to hear that you haven't had better impressions of Creighton's students, since the program itself seems to be pretty high ranked. Even with that being said, do you still think it would be a better idea to attend Creighton's program on the basis of institutional recognizance alone? Or, if I think I know that I want to work retail, should I save upwards of $60k and attend LECOM?
LECOM - Erie or Bradenton? They are very different programs. I believe the distance program is being ran out of Bradenton (IMO the better campus).I did a rotation with a Lecom student and my perception of his preparedness was very very low. So it's just anecdotal based on one student but I would avoid Lecom if possible.
