Summary
Studying pharmacy education and practicing internationally has become more intriguing in Colleges of Pharmacy within the United States (U.S.). Most U.S Colleges of Pharmacy offer both didactic coursework in Global/International. While there has not been a publication linking the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards 2016 to International/Global. The aims of this article are to describe the different international/global opportunities that students at the University of Florida (UF) College of Pharmacy have both within the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum and through extracurricular offerings and to relate how those opportunities seek to fulfill educational competencies/standards. The extracurricular offerings include the International Pharmacy Student Federation chapter, International Education. The College of Pharmacy offers a 4-year post prerequisite professional Doctor of Pharmacy degree [7], as well as Master’s degrees and PhDs in five departments: Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacotherapy and Translational Research, Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, Pharmaceutics, and Pharmacodynamics. The University supports the College’s efforts via the University of Florida International Center (UFIC), which provides logistical and administrative support for formal international courses and study programs
