Pharmacy is an expanding, dynamic profession offering a wealth of
opportunities in familiar - and unfamiliar - settings. Many occupations offer to
improve society's quality of life, but the profession of pharmacy involves the
preservation of life itself. Look at some of the practice choices:
- community pharmacy practice
- institutional / hospital pharmacy practice
- managed care pharmacy practice
- corporate, community or government service
- consulting service working with geriatric patients, home health, home
infusion
- research, sales, or management in the pharmaceutical industry.
- academic teaching / research / practice.
No matter what the choice, a secure professional future is reasonably
guaranteed with the satisfaction of personal accomplishment.
Demand for qualified pharmacists is strong in virtually all areas of
practice. Public approval is solid: a recent Gallup poll indicated that pharmacy is the most respected profession in the United
States. Salaries are attractive. Entry level positions for pharmacy salaries are
approximately $100,000.
The University of Tennessee is dedicated to maintaining its position as a
leader in pharmacy education. We continue to improve and nurture our programs, offering a variety
of academic and clinical experiences that give our graduates a powerful edge in
today's competitive health care market.
As a part of our dedication to improve and nurture our programs, we tender
this Scorecard for the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy. Developed in
compliance with The University Scorecards Program, it is a work in progress. We
will continually update the scorecard as well as add items to it as the need
arises. We seek your input on the Scorecard. The Dean's Advisory Council and the
Alumni Board of Directors as well as the faculty have had input related to the
Scorecard. For an item to be included on the Scorecard, it must be measurable!
We look forward to receiving comments and suggestions from you concerning the
Scorecard.
We want the best and brightest students for the University of Tennessee
College of Pharmacy. Most importantly, we want students who are ready to add
their individual stamps of honesty, intelligence, humor, integrity, and hard
work to the profession of pharmacy.
As an alumnus of the UT College of Pharmacy, I am extremely proud of our
students, faculty, alumni and The University of Tennessee.
Sincerely,
Dick R. Gourley, Pharm.D.
Professor of Pharmacy
