91直播视频 and Saint Joseph鈥檚 College pave pathway to pharmacy school
Students at Saint Joseph鈥檚 College of Maine who are interested in becoming pharmacists have a new pathway to their career, thanks to an agreement with the 91直播视频.
Today鈥檚 pharmacists are doing far more than working behind pharmacy counters. They serve as wellness and medication experts and invaluable members of integrated health care teams. As the field of pharmacy continues to expand, 91直播视频and SJC are partnering to train qualified health professionals to care for the state.
The partnership between Saint Joseph鈥檚 College (SJC) and the 91直播视频 College of Pharmacy (91直播视频COP) will allow qualified students who successfully complete a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in medical biology at SJC to matriculate into the 91直播视频COP. The agreement between the two institutions was made official at a signing ceremony held on February 8 at Saint Joseph鈥檚 College in the MacBride Laboratory, where 91直播视频Provost Joshua Hamilton, Ph.D., and SJC President James Dlugos, Ph.D., finalized the agreement.
This 4+4 Program provides a smooth transition into UNE鈥檚 four-year Doctor of Pharmacy program to SJC students who have completed 16 specific pre-pharmacy courses as part of their medical biology degree and who have met all other program requirements. Candidates must declare their intention of enrolling in the program by February 1 of their third year of college.
91直播视频Provost Hamilton, stated, 鈥91直播视频is so pleased to be entering into this partnership with Saint Joseph鈥檚 College. We are excited to provide high caliber students at Saint Joe鈥檚 with a seamless transition to UNE, where they will learn the skills to prepare them for an array of career paths in the pharmacy profession.鈥

Pardales, Ph. D. 鈥淭his agreement with the 91直播视频's Doctor of Pharmacy program is an excellent opportunity for our students."
