Hello,

Can someone provide me with information regarding master of science degree in clinical pharmacy at Purdue University (beyond that available on the website)?? And what's the probability than an international pharmacy graduate get accepted in this program? When is it required to have the license during the program? Is there any other university in the States that offer a similar degree?

I appreciate any help!
Thanks

The Class Threads forum is really just for discussion about class years within a school of pharmacy, so this isn't really the place for your post. Moving to pharmacy where you may get some more insight.

You'll probably want to contact the individual schools to answer your questions about specific programs.

My advice is to contact Purdue directly for most of these questions. It is not likely that my posters here will be able to give you good quality answers.

Good Luck!

Edit: Ahem, many posters*

I read it as MS (miss) in clinical pharmacy... a thread dedicated to female clinical pharmacists... I'm thoroughly disappointed that it's not.

I wonder if this degree is offered online or classroom only? If there is a practical component? It's interesting.

I just looked at the degree's website.

To OP: this is not a degree you could do to become a pharmacist. This is a degree that seems to educate people on how to do research on the implementation of clinical programs. It seems like a classroom degree (pretty much an MS in pharm. admin. that's just more geared toward clinical pharmacy).

Clinical RPhs are made by years of experience, residency, or a combination of the two. This degree sounds like a gimmick to drive continued tuition. Unless this degree is all practice based learning, it's a waste of your time.

I agree. How do you practice clinical pharmacy with an MS? PharmDs have a hard enough time as it is! Incidently, UF has a MS in Pharmacy as well...but I think it's more geared towards regulations and quality control and that sort of thing.
