- Accreditation: Council for Pharmacy Education
Program Description
The JCP Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum prepares its graduates to provide patient-centered and population-based care that ensures optimal health outcomes to practice in diverse patient care environments and become valued members of healthcare team. JCP graduates will embrace life-long, self-directed learning.
Throughout the curriculum, faculty incorporate active learning, simulated patient-care experiences, and other strategies to facilitate the continued development and application of critical thinking and clinical skills. Team-based learning is also used extensively throughout the curriculum. The curriculum has been created vertically such that material learned in earlier years is further developed and built upon in the later years. Student pharmacists participate in interprofessional education and diverse co-curricular activities, and if interested, have opportunities for research and scholarly activities that contribute to their personal and professional growth.
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredited the Doctor of Pharmacy program through June 30, 2026.
