Michael University’s Pharm.D.
program prepares students for an
exciting career in pharmacy. The
patient care pharmacist, or clinical
pharmacist, is highly educated in
disease process,
pharmacotherapy, and patient
monitoring. Pharmacists review
patient history and disease
manifestations to guide the
selection of cost-effective therapy.
To optimize the outcome of
medication use, the pharmacist remains in communication with patients, maximizing
adherence to prescribed medication and patient response to therapeutic agents.
Pharmacists work closely with interprofessional teams, including physicians, nurses,
and other members of the health care team, to review and modify patient-care plans to
improve patient outcomes, as required. Pharmacists emphasize disease prevention by
providing immunizations, smoking cessation programs, and education about prominent
chronic disease states. Our experienced faculty will help you develop your
understanding of and skills in core areas of public health, including biostatistics,
epidemiology, environmental health, social and behavioral science, and health services
management. You will gain the knowledge needed to lead efforts in protecting against
environmental hazards, preventing the spread of disease, encouraging healthy
behaviors, helping communities recover from disaster, implementing best practices, and
advocating for health care quality and accessibility.
Our program is flexible. It can be tailored to meet your specific professional goals.
