DESCRIPTION
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Pharmacy is an instrument of the State for the preparation of pharmacists with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive pharmaceutical care. The primary mission of Texas Tech is the education and training of entrylevel practitioners; the continued development of practicing professionals through a comprehensive continuing education program; and the training of advanced practitioners through general clinical and specialty postdoctoral residencies/ fellowships, and graduate certificate programs. TTUHSC School of Pharmacy accepts approximately 88 full-time students into the professional program each year.
- The school now enrolls more than 350 students in professional and postgraduate programs.
- All students in the Pharm.D. program are located in Amarillo for the first two years of the four-year program.
- During the third and fourth years, some students remain in Amarillo while others are deployed to Lubbock and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
- The pharmacy building houses five "smart" classrooms equipped with instructor-controlled computer/media stations and network ports for each student, a drug information center outfitted with reference material and computer workstations, and a lecture hall with fixed seating available for 245.
- All instructional classrooms have two-way television instruction capabilities. Conference rooms support problem-based educational experiences. There is one instructional laboratory with facilities to teach dispensing, counseling and compounding skills. The School of Pharmacy building is located within the Harrington Regional Medical Center complex.
- The Harrington Regional Medical Center is a 41-acre campus made up of a group of hospitals and associated health care facilities. The School of Pharmacy is located in a 102,000 sq. ft. building on the Amarillo campus. The pharmacy building is located directly across Coulter Drive from Northwest Texas Hospital.
- The campus presently contains the Texas Tech Clinic. A new School of Medicine and School of Allied Health building has recently been completed. A library of the Health Sciences is planned.
