The Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice Graduate Certificate Program is designed for international scholars who have graduated from a five or six-year pharmacy program (PharmD or equivalent) outside the United States. Currently we have a small cohort of students from universities, hospitals, and government agencies. Our program is designed to be completed in two to three years on a full-time basis. Successful graduates of the program go on to complete residencies in Arizona and other states as well as contribute to research and new knowledge in scholarly publications.
Program highlights

Pharmacists play a vital role in the health care system, focusing on safe and effective medication use for each patient while working collaboratively with fellow health care providers to help patients get well and stay well. Found in communities around the globe, pharmacists are often the front door to the health care system.
