Program Description The School became a 3-year in-person program in July 2023 to align to its 3-year online PharmD.

The program prepares students to practice in an interprofessional, patient-centered environment where pharmacists are responsible for assisting patients in managing their medications. Graduates of the program will be able to communicate effectively with patients and other healthcare practitioners, to solve problems related to medication regimens, and to develop initiatives to improve the health of the communities that they serve.

The 3-year pathway is an accelerated program in calendar and not curricular content. It will span 3 calendar years and utilize a trimester system for a total of 8 academic trimesters. The didactic component of the curriculum will occur during trimesters 1-6; each trimester will be comprised of 13 weeks of didactic learning followed by a 1-week Skills/Exam Week. During the odd trimesters in 1-6, students will have a 2-3 week Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) after the Skills/Exam week followed by a 1-week break. During the even trimesters in 1-6, students will have a 3-4 week remediation period after the Skills/Exam Week (break period if they pass all courses). Trimesters 7-8 will encompass the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) that include 6 six-week rotations. Since classes are not held during rotations, students are afforded the opportunity to participate in both U.S. and International IPPE and APPE rotations starting in their first year of study.

D’Youville’s dedication to serving its community is a critical component of the pharmacy program and is reflected in the opening of its Health Professions Hub and Vital Pharmacy. Through its co-curriculum, service learning, and practice experiences in the Hub, the School teaches its students to work as part of an interprofessional team, to care for diverse patient populations, and to advance the health of its community.
