Graduate Program in Pharmacy (4-Year Doctoral course)
The Graduate Program in Pharmacy aims to foster highly-skilled specialists who will work at the cutting edge of medical and clinical pharmacy and related fields through the development of advanced clinical and research skills. Two courses are offered by the Program. The Medical Pharmacy Course trains researchers and educators in medical pharmacy and related fields. The Clinical Pharmacy Course offers training to pharmacists for supervisory roles, as well as to other professionals involved in clinical trials and clinical development. The Program also provides support to individuals seeking qualifications as pharmacists specializing in cancer and infectious diseases, and as coordinators of clinical trials. We have established Japan’s first Pharmaceutical Education and Research Center at Shizuoka General Hospital, where postgraduate students are supervised in practical training and research. Graduates of the program are sought after to play key roles as research and development specialists at pharmaceutical companies, as hospital pharmacists, and as researchers in the fields of medical and clinical pharmacy.
