Academic Fellowship

What you’ll do

The academic fellow will work with administrators and faculty to gain teaching experience in a variety of classroom settings, precepting APPE students, and participating in scholarship. The program also includes opportunities to gain insights about curriculum design and program assessment. In the process, the fellow will obtain a teaching certificate and leadership certificate.

The fellow will be exposed to the following areas:

• Teaching skills (didactic lectures, recitations, skills laboratory, precepting, CE)
• Research and scholarship
• Academic Affairs and Student Affairs
• Program Assessment
• Clinical rotations based on the fellow’s interest

The fellow will also attend major national and local conferences, such as the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Annual Meeting, New York State Council of Health-System Pharmacists (NYSCHP), and the Eastern States Residency Conference.
