Student Feedback Heading link
I love that each module covered a different aspect of specialty pharmacy. And within each module, a few different areas were also explored. I feel like it gave me a good foundation of specialty and more. It also opened the idea of specialty pharmacy as a career option. I didn’t think it would actually do that for me because I took this class out of interest and need for elective credit.

Everything ran very smoothly, overall great class!

I enjoyed the group assignments the most because I felt those assignments allowed the groups to explore a topic more thoroughly by practicing executing different specialty pharmacy processes in a creative way and applying what we have learned in other weeks.
