Graduate Programs
Clinical Pharmaceutical Sciences
The Clinical Pharmaceutical Scientist Program offers Ph.D. training designed for students interested in clinical research. The goal of the program is to advance the science of human pharmacology and therapeutics and to improve the safe, effective and economical use of medications by patients.
The program emphasizes the integration of clinical and basic research. It involves advanced studies of clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics and the requirements for regulatory approval of new drugs. The graduate is well prepared to assume a tenure track academic position or career as a clinical research scientist. For more information on the program click here.
The Clinical Sciences Program is currently not accepting student applications for Fall 2007 but will be accepting applications for Fall 2008.
Pharmaceutical Socioeconomics
The Program in Pharmaceutical Socioeconomics at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy provides an innovative approach to study the challenges facing the healthcare system and provide evidence to support policy-based solutions. Many of the challenges faced in healthcare result from the choices and behaviors of individual patients and providers. The factors affecting individual decisions are rarely known and the outcomes from these decisions are unclear. The Program in Pharmaceutical Socioeconomics melds ideas across several distinct scientific paradigms (sociology, economics, psychology, business, anthropology) to better understand the factors leading to decisions in healthcare and the consequences of these decisions. The Program in Pharmaceutical Socioeconomics is a small nurturing graduate program, in which faculty members work together across scientific disciplines to help individual students develop their ideas and pursue their goals to achieve their maximal potential.
