Masters of Science in Pharmacotherapy

The Masters of Science in Pharmacotherapy program is designed to co-train concurrent ASHP administrative residents for careers in the pharmaceutical industry, academia, governmental agencies, and the healthcare industry. The program provides a curriculum and experience in the administrative sciences so that Pharmacy Practice Management students are able to apply administrative principles and methods to every-day management problems.

The Department of Pharmacotherapy only accepts students into our Master of Science program who are also accepted into ASHP-accredited administrative residency programs in Pharmacy Practice Management located at either University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics or Intermountain Healthcare.  Directors of those programs should be contacted directly via the ASHP Residency Matching program.
