What is the IPBP program?
The International Post-Baccalaureate PharmD (IPBP) program offers a unique training opportunity for domestic and international graduates with a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in pharmacy. Like most Colleges/Schools of Pharmacy in the United States, Western University requires four years of professional training following a minimum of two years of pre-pharmacy coursework. The International Post-Baccalaureate PharmD (IPBP) program allows the successful applicant to bypass the first year and enter directly into the second year of the traditional program. Thereafter, the program is completed within a three-year duration. The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree awarded to the IPBP student is to the same as the degree given to traditional students.
