Continuing Education

Home Study

The State University of New York at Buffalo, Department of Pharmacy Practice School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Office of Postgraduate Professional Education, offers a variety of continuing education courses delivered in print, seminars and online workshops. These courses are offered in order to meet pharmacists' continuing education needs and to enable them to select courses in accordance with their preferred learning styles.

HIV Symposia

These symposia have been developed to provide an overview of important advances in the diagnosis and treatment for patients with human immunodeficiency virus. This joint effort by the Department of Pharmacy Practice and the Division of Infectious Diseases illustrates the academic and clinical relationships that have grown within the Western New York community of Infectious Disease physicians and pharmacy practitioners.

Certificate Programs

Pharmacists may become certified by the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in specific disease states by completing intensive educational programs. Each program includes the completion of written materials, live interactive lectures, and focused clinical practice time. This time spent caring for patients, in a specialized clinic, provides pharmacists with the opportunity to gain ‘hands-on’ experience applying advanced principles of pharmaceutical care. Each Certificate Program is intended to provide a foundation for clinical practitioners to develop into experts in the care of the chosen disease state. The Certificate Programs are well integrated into the Non-Traditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program, allowing pharmacists completing a Certificate Program to receive academic credit towards completing this degree.
