Pharmacy is consistently ranked as the most respected profession in the nation, and the Creighton pharmacy program is considered one of the best pharmacy programs in the country. Creighton believes that pharmacists must be responsive to patient needs by providing a level of patient care that focuses on disease state management, prevention of disease, patient outcomes and wellness.
Creighton’s program has changed to reflect changes in the practice of pharmacy that focuses on pharmaceutical care. Pharmaceutical care is the direct, responsible provision of medication-related care for the purpose of achieving definitive outcomes that improve a patient’s quality of life. Today’s pharmacy education focuses on:
• Patient data collection
• Medication therapy assessment and delivery
• Pharmacy care plan
• Patient counseling
• Patient monitoring and compliance
• Patient outcomes evaluation and documentation
The Doctor of Pharmacy program focuses on providing students with a strong foundation in basic knowledge, communication skills, critical thinking abilities and an empathic attitude toward their patients.
The following courses in the Doctor of Pharmacy Program are available to visiting students. A tuition discount of 25% is offered when five or more students from one institution register for the same course. To apply for a course, please see the information on the
