PharmD Curriculum
The PharmD curriculum at Creighton focuses on the skills, knowledge and values needed for patient-focused care. It’s designed to help students learn new skills and then build on them.
Graduates will be able to effectively provide care in collaboration with patients, prescribers, other healthcare providers and the community based upon sound therapeutic principles, evidence-based data and research.
Tuition & Financial Aid
The Doctor of Pharmacy costs vary over the four years of the program.
The majority of incoming PharmD students are awarded scholarships. Awards range up to $100,000 for the duration of the program, awarded annually over the four years of the program. All admitted candidates will automatically be considered for scholarships.
Experiential Learning
Students can complete pharmacy practice learning activities within real-world pharmacy settings as part of the curriculum.
Activities typically begin as an introduction to pharmacy practice during the first three years (IPPEs) and progress to higher levels of practice as students complete advanced experiences (APPEs) during the fourth year.
Interprofessional Education and Practice
At Creighton, you’ll work with other health sciences students to prepare you for a practice that reflects the real world.
Partnerships with regional and national providers offer you experiential learning opportunities in a variety of professional settings, including community pharmacy, acute pharmaceutical care, in-patient hospital, outpatient clinic and drug information.
In addition, over 30 elective/specialty clinical rotations let you pursue interests in such areas as pediatrics, psychiatry, oncology and more. You may also choose a clinical experience in the Dominican Republic.
Improving Patient Care Through Innovative Centers
Center for Medication Therapy Management
The School of Pharmacy and Health Professions was the first school to partner with AdhereHealth to establish a remote site for student pharmacists and first-year residents to provide medication therapy management services. At this center, students develop an array of skills, including comprehensive medication review, patient education, written and verbal communication skills and assessment and documentation of services and therapy.
Center for Drug Information and Evidence-Based Practice
The center offers a wide range of unbiased, timely information consultations to pharmacists nationwide. These consultations allow pharmacists to make informed decisions about dosing, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, therapeutic reviews and recommendations.
International Pharmacy Opportunities
Creighton pharmacy students have opportunities to provide healthcare services to underserved communities globally.
The ILAC Summer Program is a faith-based service-learning trip with a team of dentists, physicians and nurses providing care in rural areas of the Dominican Republic.
