Individuals holding a professional degree in pharmacy examine the societal systems in which patients, pharmacists and other health are practitioners interact, behave, perform, generate revenues, provide services, and are educated. They generate knowledge about man as a social, cultural, psychological, and biological being, as well as the intervention and effect of health care systems upon man and the economics of pharmacy services.
Study and research training in this discipline prepares individuals with the background and the problem solving skills to evaluate and design systems for the delivery of pharmaceutical systems and to apply behavioral and social interdisciplinary theories to the study of pharmacy practice. An individual program of course work is determined for each student according to his/her career goals by a Committee on Studies.
Students can select Master of Science programs with emphasis on economics and social and behavioral aspects or they can select a Master of Science program in clinical trials. All Master of Science students are encouraged to apply for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Fellowships are competitively available in pharmacoeconomics and multi-center clinical trials in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program in Albuquerque, NM.
