Program Overview
Population Health Pharmacy focuses on the impact of the distribution of health determinants on those receiving medication management services by pharmacists. This also includes the strategies used to improve health outcomes associated with medication use. With the rising health care costs and limited resources, pharmacists play an integral role in population health and there is an increasing demand for pharmacists with this expertise. The Population Health Pharmacy degree will be a collaborative effort between the Jefferson College of Pharmacy and the Jefferson College of Population Health (JCPH) designed to give practicing pharmacists an expertise in population health pharmacy. By leveraging pharmacy-specific knowledge with population health principles, these graduates will be poised to meet the needs of the current resource-limited, fragmented US health care system.
Jefferson College of Pharmacy (JCP), an integral part of one of the nation’s premier academic healthcare centers. Founded in 2008, we have built an innovative Doctor of Pharmacy program that effectively prepares our graduates for interesting and challenging pharmacy practice roles across the health care continuum.
