91成人导航

Nearly 130 doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) graduates from the are taking part in a newly launched program at 91成人导航 designed to provide intense preparation for state and national licensure examinations.

鈥淲e tailored this program to enable our students to be incredibly successful on their examinations,鈥� said Clinical Professor Sian Carr-Lopez. 鈥淲e wanted to make sure that every minute of the training reflects the kinds of things they鈥檒l need to know for their exams.鈥�

91成人导航 is providing the comprehensive three-week program, including on-campus housing, at no cost. It was created to combat a statewide decline in passage rates on the California licensure exam in recent years. Graduates must pass both the state and national exam to practice as pharmacists in California.

Recent PharmD graduate Carissa Leung 鈥�23 said it was a 鈥渘o-brainer鈥� returning to campus for the program.

鈥淚t鈥檚 incredibly helpful being in an environment with other students going through the same thing you are,鈥� she said.

The Rx4Success program is the first of its kind in California. Dozens of alumni and pharmacists throughout California were selected to serve as guest speakers.

鈥淥ur speakers are content experts. They are practicing five days a week in the clinic or in the hospital, and many have advanced training, so they complement the education students received from 91成人导航,鈥� said Professor Rajul Patel, who is helping put the program together. 鈥淲e have given each speaker guidance to ensure that there is breadth, but also appropriate depth, of topics.鈥�

Over three weeks, graduates will receive nearly 90 hours of programming.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a great experience,鈥� said PharmD graduate Sean McNary 鈥�23. 鈥淎ll the lecturers have been knowledgeable, providing good clinical pearls and examples from their clinical practice to illustrate and bring to life this great review.鈥�

The new program complements other resources available. In their third year, all students take 鈥淩x Prep鈥� to begin preparing early for licensure exams. The state exam is offered numerous times throughout the year with the majority of 91成人导航 students planning to take it in June and July.

The Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy has been a long-time leader in pharmacy education. The school was established in 1955, becoming only the third pharmacy school in California at the time.
