Program Description
The UTHSC PharmD is a mark of distinction. The mission of the UTHSC College of Pharmacy is to prepare tomorrow's pharmacy leaders and advocates for the profession. Our graduates enter contemporary practice settings with confidence and a diverse skillset. The curriculum strongly supports graduates who desire to continue their education through residencies or other postgraduate training, as well as those who plan to enter practice directly after graduation. Our main campus resides in Memphis on the University of Tennessee’s Health Science Center campus, with additional campuses located in Nashville and Knoxville. The college continues to be ranked in the top 20 of all colleges of pharmacy nationwide, and graduates consistently score greater than the national and state averages on board exam pass rates.
The UTHSC student pharmacist acquires clinical knowledge and finesse through a varied curricula consisting of an integrated curriculum introducing therapeutics-based courses in the P1 year; APPEs beginning in the P3 year, providing students earlier exposure to clinical rotations across the state and beyond; clinical simulation, utilizing standardized patients, task trainers, high-fidelity patient simulators, and virtual reality; interprofessional experiences and team-based training.
In addition to our traditional four year pathway, the college now offers the Immersive PharmD Accelerated Track (ImPAcT), an exciting new option that allows select students the opportunity to complete the PharmD in three years (same courses, assessments, and credit hours [148.5 hours] as the four-year pathway) by shortening breaks and redistributing courses. To be considered for the ImPAcT track, a student must have proven academic success in the traditional four-year PharmD program.
