New this year, the College of Pharmacy is pleased to offer an MSc and PhD concentration in pharmacoepidemiology.
Pharmacoepidemiology is a discipline of growing interest in Canada and abroad. Numerous health agencies and pharmaceutical manufacturers have expressed interest in hiring individuals with expertise in this area as it becomes more and more crucial to assess effectiveness, safety, and value of new expensive medications coming to market.
At the College of Pharmacy, our concentration in pharmacoepidemiology consists of completion of core courses, elective courses, and a thesis conducted in the area of pharmacoepidemiology. This new academic opportunity provides students the opportunity to acquire skills in conducting research related to examining the effects of therapeutic agents at the population level.
