The Program
|
Our Doctor of
Pharmacy program is known as a “1-5”
program. This
means that 1 year of prerequisites are required before 5 years of
pharmacy school. The 5 years
of pharmacy school consists of 4 years of class work followed by the 5th
year where students participate in Advanced Pharmacy Practice experiences (APPE)
off-site.
During the prerequisite year, courses may be taken at UMKC or at any
regionally accredited college.

APPE rotations
consist of students stepping out of the classroom and into real world experience
at actual pharmacy sites being trained first hand by licensed pharmacists.
Each rotation covers a different area of pharmacy which not only allows
students the experience they need, but also allows students to see the wide variety
of careers that are offered to pharmacists.
Pre-requisites
Ninety-five students are accepted each fall at UMKC
campus and twenty-eight students
are accepted at the MU
campus in Columbia into the satellite program.
