PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Wingate University was founded in 1896, and its newly established School of Pharmacy accepted its first class in 2003. Wingate's pharmacy faculty are student-centered and committed to teaching. Professors - not graduate students - teach all classes, lead case studies, and direct laboratory experiences.
Wingate University School of Pharmacy's mission is to prepare pharmacists who are ready to practice on the day of graduation. Practice experiences are begun in Year-1, with additional experiences included in EACH year of the curriculum. Practice sites for full-time rotations are located in the Carolinas, throughout the greater Charlotte metropolitan area and beyond. The fully-integrated curriculum is punctuated with small group studies held weekly, during each semester. All class notes are posted on the school's web-page prior to class, and each smart classroom allows for wireless student connectivity.
Additionally, instant (audience) response transmitters are placed at each student workstation within the classrooms to allow students to register opinions, take self-assessment tests and receive instant feedback on themselves as well as the class as a whole. The Pharmacy Practice Laboratory is designed like a community pharmacy, not a chemistry lab. Patient counseling rooms allow for recording practice sessions with simulated (actors) and real patients.
A state-of-the-science patient assessment lab complements the program - a program that prepares the student of today for the practice of tomorrow. |
