Department of Pharmacy Practice

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.

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 four post-graduate pharmacy residency programs in the areas of ambulatory care, cardiology, endocrinology, and primary care.
