The Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics has the unique responsibility within the
School of Pharmacy to provide classroom and clinical instruction for pharmacy students in the practice of pharmacy and to train graduate and postgraduate pharmacists in the principles of clinical research. The faculty of the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics are clinical practitioners who bring insights from the patient-care setting to their teaching, translational research, and professional service activities.

Postgraduate research opportunities in the division are provided through two-year fellowship programs. Fellowships in an academic setting or in the pharmaceutical industry emphasize research skills and offer specialization in areas such as drug development, pharmacokinetics and pharmacoeconomics.
