Program Description

The PCOM Georgia Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop a highly trained pharmacist capable of practicing in many different healthcare environments. Responding to the rising need for pharmacists nationally, and particularly in the South, PCOM Georgia established its PharmD program in 2010. Located in suburban Atlanta, GA, and supported by PCOM’s century-old tradition of training osteopathic physicians and other health practitioners, the School of Pharmacy provides a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum delivered by accomplished educators, practitioners and pharmaceutical scientists. The School of Pharmacy is a student-centered program, and our faculty is committed to providing all of the necessary resources to support students both academically and personally. PCOM students will have the opportunity to customize their pharmacy learning experience by pursuing concentrations in one of five different pharmacy practice areas (including medical cannabis and nuclear pharmacy) during the third year of the program. Concentrations allow students to tailor their elective experiences to their own unique interests by developing a specialized range of expertise and skill and prepare them for rewarding careers in ambulatory, acute care, managed care practice, medical cannabis or nuclear pharmacy.
