The nontraditional Pharm.D. program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is described. The nontraditional program, started in 1990, includes 21 credit hours of didactic work and 12 of clerkships. In the self-paced didactic courses, videotapes, manuals, and texts are used, along with faculty consultation in person or by telephone. Clerkships can be traditional or nontraditional. Nontraditional clerkships can be completed by self-study in the student's community after an orientation period at the preceptor's site. More than 400 pharmacists have enrolled in the program and more than 80 have entered nontraditional clerkships. Thirty-nine pharmacists have received the Pharm.D. degree. The program offers an accessible alternative for pharmacists who want to earn the Pharm.D. degree while maintaining full-time employment.
