Learn by doing. By working alongside seasoned professionals, you will get the hands-on experience you need to hone your clinical and patient care skills.

Our 17 clinical experience regions are located across California, from Redding to San Diego. We will place you in each of your clinical rotations and a dedicated faculty member will help guide you every step of the way.

During your time here, you will be immersed in a wide range of practice settings. As you explore the various practice settings, you will find one that’s right for you; whether that is a fast-paced hospital environment, a research-based setting, a setting that utilizes your business acumen or a cutting-edge specialty. Our graduates have gone on to own independent pharmacies, hold leadership positions at the national level and secure academic positions at universities across the country.

Dynamic teams are the future of health care. Our interprofessional education curriculum connects students across Pacific’s three campuses and from universities across the country. Our PharmD students collaborate with students from Pacific’s School of Health Sciences.

Pacific PharmD graduates have consistently had a higher first-time pass rate for the NAPLEX exam than the national average. To continue this success, the School is offering a first-of-its-kind, immersive three-week residential CPJE and NAPLEX preparatory program designed to establish and build upon your strengths through careful practice sessions and engaging reviews.

Many of our graduates go on to complete residencies or fellowships. Our faculty and alumni are valuable assets for students who are interested in pursuing these postgraduate opportunities.
