How Can Pharmacy Help You Achieve your Career Goals in Healthcare?:

Career Flexibility & Job Security (PharmD) 

A URI pharmacy graduate might start their career as a clinical pharmacist in a hospital, then transition into pharmaceutical research, and later move into healthcare policy or industry leadership. The field of pharmacy offers over 100 career paths, including community pharmacy, oncology, infectious diseases, biotechnology, pharmacogenomics, and even entrepreneurship.

Hands-On Learning & Clinical Experience, Preparation for Medical or Dental School (PharmD and BSPS) 

As a URI pharmacy student, you might work directly with patients in our on-campus community pharmacy, help develop new antibiotics in our research labs, or complete a rotation at a major hospital or pharmaceutical company. Students get real-world experience in drug development, patient care, and cutting-edge pharmaceutical technology before they even graduate.

 Imagine earning your pharmacy degree and having job offers before you even graduate—that’s the reality at URI, where we have a 99% job placement rate. Our graduates work at places like LOreal Cosmetics, Amgen, Pfizer, the FDA, CDC, and top hospitals across the country.

Transforming Healthcare & Making a Difference (PharmD)

A URI graduate might develop a new cancer drug, improve medication safety in hospitals, or launch a community health initiative that changes lives.
