Ferris State University’s Pharm.D. program is affiliated with Marquette General Health System offering Ferris pharmacy students the opportunity to complete part of their experiential training at MGH.

The Pharm.D. students work with residents and providers in the Family Care Doctor’s Clinic and on the inpatient service at MGH. The students are part of the multi-disciplinary team by recommending drug therapy, answering drug information questions, counseling patients on new and discharge medications, obtaining medication histories. The students also assist in managing the Coumadin patients and initiating patients into the indigent drug program.

As part of the Pharm.D. training, the students provide pharmacological lectures to the residents and health care providers at MGH. These lectures are available for CME credit to health care providers.

Since the collaboration began, there have been 32 pharmacy students who have successfully completed the training. If you would like to learn more about the Pharm.D. program, please contact:
