Doctor of Pharmacy University of Findlay, USA

The University of Findlay Doctor of Pharmacy program and subsequent eligibility for pharmacist licensure requires a certain level of cognitive, behavioral, and technical skills and abilities inherent to a professional education. It is to these principles and standards that Doctor of Pharmacy students are held accountable in order for admittance, progression, retention, and completion of the program to take place.

All students are expected to successfully fulfill the same core educational requirements. While Findlay will make reasonable efforts to enable students with disabilities to complete the Doctor of Pharmacy program, where possible and within our guidelines, some accommodations cannot be made. One example of an unacceptable accommodation is a trained intermediary. Professionals in a clinical setting who rely on intermediaries are subject to interpretation or filtering of information by this intermediary.

Students who graduate from the program will be eligible to take a general licensure exam, which presumes the capability to competently perform the required duties in any pharmacy practice setting; therefore, in our curriculum, students must be able to successfully complete the entire program without exception.

Pharmacy students are expected to:

• Be able to acquire their Ohio intern license by the end of their first professional semester
• Maintain their Ohio intern license until graduation and pharmacy licensure examination
• Complete the academic program within a reasonable amount of time
• Maintain their physical and mental health and conduct themselves socially in a manner that will contribute to, and never detract from, a safe patient environment.

The UF College of Pharmacy has the responsibility to protect the patients with whom our graduates will interact, directly or indirectly. In addition, the safety of the student in each of the potential practice environments in which they train must also be considered. It is with both the patients’ safety and the students’ safety in mind that our technical standards have been specified.
