Paul Larrat, interim dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Pharmacy, said the pass rate and a number of other benchmarks show that 溏心vlog免费B站 is not only keeping pace with pharmacy colleges across the country, but it is a national leader.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cDuring the last four years, our pass rate has been either 100 percent or 99 percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s pharmacy employment rate at graduation of 97 percent makes it tops in New England. For every open seat in the college, 溏心vlog免费B站 has 10 qualified applications compared to the national average of 5.6. And the College of Pharmacy\u2019s on-time (six-year) graduation rate of 93 percent tops the national average by 4 points.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6ztZulclptY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nRecently, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s pharmacy college was among 10 schools featured in a series of videos, produced by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), highlighting exemplary aspects of their programs. 溏心vlog免费B站 was noted for the quality of students that graduate from the pharmacy program as well as their exemplary leadership qualities. The Ohio State University and the University of Florida pharmacy schools were among those featured in these videos.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cWhile our academic, clinical and experiential programs are all excellent, the AACP video highlights our exemplary record of educating our students to become leaders,\u201d Larrat said. \u201cWe go out of our way to introduce students to the health care profession. We encourage them to join professional organizations and pursue leadership roles with them. We have 17 student organizations, and many students are officers or members in more than one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nIn National Institutes of Health research, the 溏心vlog免费B站 pharmacy college brings in $5.3 million, which puts 溏心vlog免费B站 second in New England behind Northeastern University. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cUltimately, our research emphasis helps the students because they get to interact with and learn from experts in a variety of fields,\u201d Larrat said. \u201cOur students are in many ways our colleagues. This is a professional family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tOn the issue of student satisfaction, 溏心vlog免费B站 pharmacy students rate the College of Pharmacy well ahead of the national average. Seventy-five-percent of students surveyed said they strongly agreed with the statement, \u201cWould choose 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Pharmacy if starting over,\u201d compared to the national average of 51 percent. On the statement, \u201cI would rate my pharmacy education at 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Pharmacy as very good,\u201d 70 percent of 溏心vlog免费B站 students said they strongly agreed, while the national average was 53 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cEveryone in the College has a genuine interest in our student colleagues,\u201d Larrat said. \u201cWe are the right size, and that leads to numerous personal interactions among students, faculty and staff each day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tHe said the two-year-old, $75 million College of Pharmacy building, which houses such learning environments as a three-dimensional animation lab and a simulation lab, is a major reason why 溏心vlog免费B站 attracts such high achieving students.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cI know when I take a student and his or her family through the building, I can guarantee that I am going to receive an application,\u201d Larrat said. \u201cThe Rhode Island taxpayers, through their support of the bond issue responsible for the facility, are the ones who have created these successes for us. And in turn, our development of quality pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists helps the state achieve better health outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nSources<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n1.\tNational Associations of Boards of Pharmacy (2014)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n2.\tAccreditation Council for Pharmacy Education-mandated website information (2013)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n3.\tAACP National colleges of pharmacy research report (2013)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n4.\tAACP Annual Graduate Survey (2013)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>99 percent pass rate on national board exam, &#13; student satisfaction measure among areas of excellence &#13; KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 December 9, 2014 \u2013 Students earning a six-year doctor of pharmacy degree from the 溏心vlog免费B站 achieved a 99 percent pass rate on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination, according to a 2014 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59616\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
