Program Description

The objective of the Clinical Pharmacy Translational Science (CPTS) PhD Program is to provide intensive didactic and mentored research training to post-graduates (PharmD, BS, etc.) with an interest in pursuing careers as independent investigators in research. Each student will select from two tracks for focused learning and training; Health Services Research (HSR) focuses on how health policy and our health systems and providers can impact and improve medication use, while Precision Pharmacotherapy focuses on the discovery and translation of physiological biomarkers that can be used to predict, monitor, or understand treatment outcomes.

All students will receive general instruction in translational pharmaceutical sciences, research study design, and grant proposal development, and participate in a Seminar series with departmental faculty. In-depth knowledge and skills in HSR or Precision Pharmacotherapy will be developed. We anticipate that students in the CPTS PhD Program will complete their doctoral studies in about four years.
