PA Clerkship

                        

Students may be admitted into the Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program (NTDPP) through application to the School's Admission Committee.
 
bullet Applications will be evaluated and students either admitted, conditionally admitted, deferred, or denied. A deferred applicant may continue taking core courses, using performances in these as further evidence of qualification for admission. A deferred applicant who is subsequently admitted must work with program administrators to develop the most appropriate plan for starting clerkships. In this case, if the student has successfully completed all courses and is available to participate, it may be possible for that student to enter the clerkships rotations with less than one year planning time from the date of admission from deferred applicant status if space in the clerkships is available.
 
bullet Students will be required to enter their clerkships no more than four years from the time they start their therapeutics sequence.
 
bullet Students admitted in the nontraditional pathway may register and take didactic and laboratory courses on the Purdue campus if they meet the prerequisites, there is capacity in the course and they can attend the classes regularly to complete the requirements.
 
bullet Transfer of nontraditional program students to the traditional program for clerkship is restricted by the conditions of space available in the traditional program class, sufficient lead time for clerkship scheduling, and student intention to complete the clerkships as a continuing full-time student. In the event there is more than one NTDPP student desiring to be given a space in the traditional pathway program, the NTDPP Advisory Committee will take responsibility for action not the NTDPP student request for pathway transfer.
