The pharmacy profession is concerned with a wide variety of activities, from developing new drug products to caring for patients. A recent concept in the delivery of pharmaceutical services is pharmaceutical care--the responsible provision of drug therapy to achieve defined outcomes that improve patients' quality of life. These outcomes include preventing, arresting, or curing a disease, and/or eliminating or reducing its symptoms.

Pharmaceutical care can enhance health care in rural settings and in primary care among the elderly, who are by far the heaviest users of drug therapy. In order to carry out these responsibilities, pharmacists specialize in the science of drugs and drug information.

Work as a pharmacist dispensing medications and information at the corner pharmacy is just one aspect of the profession. Pharmacists are active in research, clinical practice, teaching, and counseling. Along with their training in science and drug preparation, they learn the business and communication skills necessary for their multifaceted careers.

Demand for qualified pharmacists is high. Iowa's graduates enjoy a 100 percent placement rate. Iowa's pharmacy students study with professors who, in many cases, are pioneering the development of new drugs to solve chronic health problems. They also enjoy advanced research facilities, including those of Iowa's drug research and manufacturing area, where experimental drugs are produced for testing and licensing by manufacturers before being introduced worldwide.

The University of Iowa College of Pharmacy is accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education.

College Organization

The College of Pharmacy's faculty and programs are organized in divisions defined by three major content areas: clinical and administrative pharmacy, medicinal and natural products chemistry, and pharmaceutics. These divisions provide course work for both the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum and specialized graduate programs.

Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy Division

Faculty in the Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy Division provide expertise and education in the professional practice of pharmacy. Many are practitioners in a wide variety of settings; they provide instruction in the professional role of the pharmacist and the safe and effective use of medications. Course work in this division is related to pharmacotherapy, communication and practice, ethics and law, the organization and administration of the health care system, and patient care. Faculty serve as role models, providing closely supervised practice experiences.

The division's Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs are based in two areas: clinical pharmaceutical sciences, and pharmaceutical socioeconomics (behavioral, economic, social, and administrative sciences).

Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry Division

The Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry Division provides course work in areas related to understanding the chemistry of drugs and their action on human systems. Additional content areas include principles of drug discovery and drug design, natural product chemistry, and biotechnology/genomic strategies for producing new drug molecules.

The division's Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs provide abundant opportunities for interface with researchers in other areas, including medicine, pharmacology, biochemistry, chemistry, and pharmaceutics.

Pharmaceutics Division

The Pharmaceutics Division focuses on physical pharmacy, dosage form development and performance, industrial and manufacturing pharmacy, and the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs and biological molecules. The division's Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs parallel the research in the division with specialization in formulation and preformulation sciences, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, novel drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. Multidisciplinary program opportunities also exist with faculty in chemistry, engineering, dentistry, and other departments.

Courses for Non-Pharmacy Students

Students must be enrolled in the College of Pharmacy to take the college's courses. Graduate students in other majors must have the instructor's consent to take College of Pharmacy courses.
