So what route would I need to take to get a job as a professor at a university teaching pharmacy?

You could bang your head repeatedly onto a hard surface till you lose all grasp of reality....oh, sorry- I thought you wanted to be DEAN of a pharmacy school! My bad....

I think it will be nearly impossible soon. A 20 percent reduction in applications this year means fewer jobs at colleges of pharmacy and soon pharmacy school closings.

You should open a pharmacy school near the Salton Sea and justify doing so by touting it as the only pharmacy school in the area and how there is a shortage of pharmacists.

Then you get to work on the beach and fulfill your dream of teaching at a university. Win-win situation!

Hello,
There are a few ways.
1. A academic fellowship will help you with the proper credentials.
2. Completing a residency (and getting that teaching certificate through your residency) is another option.

Sometimes it is the right place, right time, right position, right focus (ie specialty)


Another way is to be higher up admin and teach on the side.

In the meantime, teaching a pharmacy practice course once in a while as an adjuct or as an affiliated faculty is another way.


Goodluck and I commend your passion in teaching.

I'd teach pharmacy in a heartbeat if more opportunities were available.
