a school in my town is looking for a dean too. it's been ranked as the lowest performing school in our state as well as having problems with losing accreditation. but i guess that's what happens when you have two pharmacy school within 5 miles of each other.
D'Youville? And isn't St. John Fisher funded by a retail chain? NY is becoming sad.
SJF's pharmacy program (and nursing as well) was built by a donation from Bob Wegman, the late owner of Wegmans, but there is no connection between the two. He donated quite a bit of money to local Catholic schools.D'Youville? And isn't St. John Fisher funded by a retail chain? NY is becoming sad.
Nope. I actually heard through the grapevine that no one from the class of '15 got offered a job there, including their interns.So students at SJF don't get priority in terms of intern/job opportunities with Wegmans?
A few open Dean positions across the country (and beyond), according to the latest AACP "Career Opportunities" e-mail I received yesterday:
- Utah
- Maryland Eastern Shore
- St. John Fisher
- D'Youville
I would totally triple the students getting in but then quadruple the work load. Im pretty sure I would make a great dean lol.
if only a semi new grad could become a dean. I would totally triple the students getting in but then quadruple the work load. Im pretty sure I would make a great dean lol.
Why not? You wouldn't be the only Dean increasing class size in a tightening employment market.
well making profit over everyone's generalized suffering- isn't that the model of a free economy? LOL
After looking at the curricula and talking to several students at other schools, I believe that the school I'm attending already is taking measures to weed out students, which explains the high attrition rate at this school.
Still, that doesn't help, because my school's class size is huge
I agree with you there, keeps students paying for tuition in the longer run and is a better business model because the NAPLEX could be taught through a one to two semester crash course.
However, like @PhoenixFire said, weeding out students (especially toward the later P3/P4 years when most of the tuition is collected) is a good way of ensuring a high pass rate on the NAPLEX to boast necessary for accreditation and a higher "percentage of graduates" that found "a job," which gives media and advertisement more ammunition to sucker more students into this mess. Long term, this keeps feeding the perpetual expansion of pharmacy education and thus, terrible working conditions for employed pharmacists.
omg that is like my alma mater. we had like 600 students first year and the sixth year we ended with 200 kids. HAHA. most failed only during first and second year. but when my pharmacy school opens up ill fail kids out during fifth year to get at least 10K more out of them. AHHH this is a new goal.on the other hand, many schools are going the opposite way: let students retake exams or courses when failed. This is a better business model imho

@oldstock School of Pharmacy is looking for a committee member to run things as smoothly as possible, are you interested? =)
Hey Oldstock, I'm really good at smoozing. Maybe I could assist you by being in charge of admissions? I guarantee to fill up each class completely with government-loan eligible marks, er I mean students.

I'm REALLY surprised no school has thought of this yet . . . just implement the Caribbean medical school model and accept students in the spring, summer and fall.
