Program Description
The PharmD program at the University of Rhode Island is a 0/6 program. While most students come from high school, we sometimes accept a few transfer students into the P1 year. The curriculum stresses critical thinking, active learning and clinical experience to prepare you for practice in a variety of settings. Graduates of our program have a strong record of passing the national licensing examination (NAPLEX). Average scores over the past five years are above the 90 percentages for graduates taking the exam for the first time. Amongst graduates of the last five years, more than 92.5% reported pharmacy related employment by September following graduation on their AACP graduating student survey. For the class of 2019, 30% of graduates were accepted to either a residency or fellowship trainging program. Job responsibilities vary from staff pharmacists, manager, clinical specialist, consultant, executive, to professor. Ninety-two percent of graduates indicate that they would select the URI College of Pharmacy if they were starting their pharmacy programs over again.
