These pharmacists will receive a teaching certificate through the Indiana Colleges of Pharmacy demonstrating their ability to educate other members of the health care team, patients and the community on drug-related issues. They will be prepared to become eligible for board certification, for post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) pharmacy residency training and become future leaders in pharmacy. They will display professional maturity by monitoring their own performance, establishing a personal philosophy of practice and demonstrating leadership and commitment to the pharmacy profession.
