Course Overview
Yet ineffective regulation leads to cost increases, decreased access, and poor health outcomes for the population as a whole. The pharmaceutical industry is an area within health care in which the cost, quality and access balancing act is especially difficult; and, the costs associated with research and development and managing liability continue to influence overall health care quality. The curriculum in the pharmaceutical regulation track is designed to give students a firm grounding in the regulatory framework around the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, and use of pharmaceutical products, and place pharmaceuticals in a larger context of health care, generally. Students explore the roles of regulation, and the responsibilities of the regulated and regulator, and delve into the complexities and challenges facing health care. Upon completion of the program, students will have training that may qualify them for a career in drug regulation and oversight, governmental affairs, health care benefits administration, or pharmaceutical administration. Students interested in enhancing their knowledge in this area may choose to take individual courses on a non-degree seeking basis, complete a graduate certificate in pharmaceutical regulation (13 cr.) , or complete an MS, Pharm degree with a graduate certificate in pharmaceutical regulation (30 cr.).
