Dual Master of Public Health and Doctor of Pharmacy (MPH-PHARMD)
The Dual Master of Public Health and Doctor of Pharmacy (MPH-PHARMD) program prepares students for pharmacist roles that, increasingly, require proficiency in medication therapy management and health promotion on the patient, regional, state and national levels. A public health pharmacist is expected to use their pharmacotherapeutic knowledge and skills in combination with their public health skills to plan, organize, manage, and perform drug-related activities within a specific public health focus or setting.
