Program Description: 

Located in Searcy, Arkansas, the College of Pharmacy at Harding University offers a four-year program of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree.  The program consists of three years of didactic instruction and early pharmacy practice experiences followed by a fourth year comprised entirely of advanced pharmacy practice experiences.  Interprofessional education is utilized throughout Harding's Pharm.D. curriculum fostering an environment where students benefit from interactions with those in other health sciences programs including nursing and physician assistant students.  During their second year in the program, students take a pharmacy practice management course that addresses the discussion and analysis of management principles in relation to community and institutional pharmacy management, including planning, organizing, motivation, controlling and marketing.  This course curriculum includes a two to four hour lecture where students learn about the medical home model. The lecture includes a review of “what is the medical home model”, how pharmacists can participate in quality improvement methods, and how to create a business model for patient-centered integrated care.
