MCPHS - Worcester - waste of money - RUN AWAY !!!!

This program is nothing but DISAPPOINTING.

It has potential but there is total disregard for it.

The President "Charlie" Monahan, is nothing more than a power-hungry money-grubber. Tuition keeps rising to pay for the MCPHS-Manchester program (learn via SATELLITE TV!) and the new living quarters and RN program next door.

God forbid money go into CURRENT TEACHING or getting seasoned instructors. All new instructors are GREEN --> meaning minimal pharmacy experience (fresh out of residency doesn't count) and also they are cheaper to hire. Academia to academia doesn't breed good pharmacists!

In house Politics—the Pharmacy Science Dept truly attempts to teach you whereas the Pharmacy Practice Dept does not teach and is not supportive in any way, shape, or form. Also, seasoned instructors from Pharmacy Practice leave every year and the school is only 5 years old! What does that tell you? The direction is for

students to teach themselves.
Do you see StudentsReview anywhere else in a clinical teaching program? Are surgeons next?

What you get out of this program is

how to take an exam and pass.
Big deal. Pass the Boards. But are you a COMPETENT PHARMACIST? No, you are not. Are you even knowledgable? No, you are not. You are taught how to apply what you know. You want to learn about drugs? You won't be doing it here!

Also, you CANNOT TRANSFER your MCPHS-Worcester classes elsewhere. You are stuck here. If you do poorly here, you have to wait a YEAR to return to the classes or you have to completely reapply and go elsewhere (for 4 years).

The format for this program will more than likely disintegrate in a few years, due to the death spiral it is in now. Your only option if in the program is to finish and move far, far away and hope that no one in the pharmacy world realizes how horrible this place is.

The school currently starts with 150 students so to capture monies for people like Charlie Monahan and growing a monstrosity of a school. MCPHS-Worcester will NEVER be a top school of pharmacy. The new Dean, Michael Malloy, is the worst candidate for that position and is detested by students (and a piss-poor instructor!). He will NOT support you EVER.

My advice—Go elsewhere. Go somewhere that encourages LEARNING. Go somewhere where instructors are supportive and encouraging and facilitate you to become a competent pharmacist. Go somewhere to get your money's worth because you will not be getting it here.

You have been warned!

responseHealt has become one of the biggest industry of the world and for this the doctors rely more on the latest technology as well and when it comes to serving a patient, they prefer embedded software architecture. For this to provide them better care.
