Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if anyone in here is considering or has any information about the PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I don't think this degree is nearly as widely offered as the PharmD, and to tell you the truth I'm having a hard time finding out much about it. At my school, UNC Chapel Hill, this is how they describe it:
The School of Pharmacy offers graduate study leading to the doctor of philosophy degree (PhD) in
pharmaceutical sciences, which may be concentrated in disciplinary areas represented by four divisions.
Molecular Pharmaceutics
Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products
Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy
Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics
It sounds like the program is much more researched based than a normal pharmacy curriculum, and obviously it leads to the PhD degree rather than a PharmD. Does anyone know of similar programs at other schools? And I wonder if people in programs like this are able to obtain a pharmacy certification (so that they can practice in retail) if they decide to? Any idea what the "typical" career path of a graduate of such a program would be?
Thanks,
Luke
