The Department of Pharmacy Practice is a team of highly trained, specialized faculty with members located on each of the College's two campuses. Faculty have a broad range of expertise in areas that include infectious disease, nephrology, and endocrinology.
The department offers a well-developed, integrated Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum complemented by a robust pharmacy skills course and problem solving workshops across the P1 through P3 years. Curricular concentrations are available in Nephrology and Administration/Management/Economics (AME).
The Department has more than 600 pharmacy practice sites for students to complete their rotation requirements, including two student operated pharmacies – one in Albany, NY and another in Schenectady, NY.
In addition, the Department offers several unique post-graduate training programs: (1) an endocrinology residency which is the only one of its kind in the country; (2) a nephrology residency which is one of only two such programs in the country; (3) a residency in medication management through a partnership with Clinical Support Services; and (4) a fellowship in specialty compounding in conjunction with Custom Medicine Pharmacenter.
2016 Scholarly activity report
The activities listed below are by members of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and span the period from January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016.
