School Info
The University of Hawaii at Hilo (UH Hilo) was founded in 1947 and is one of three 4-year institutions in the University of Hawaii system. In 2005, UH Hilo's College of Pharmacy was launched through the recruitment of the Founding Dean, John M. Pezzuto. In 2007, the college accepted enrollment of its inaugural class, comprised of 90 students. Full Accreditation status was awarded in June 2011 after the first group of PharmD students graduated in May 2011. In 2013, the College was named The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy (DKICP) in honor of the late US Senator.
Curriculum
DKICP offers a four-year course of study leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. The curriculum, rooted in basic, biomedical, and pharmaceutical sciences, is designed for students to acquire knowledge of the scientific underpinnings of pharmacy practice. The social, behavioral and administrative sciences that inform pharmaceutical care are integrated throughout the curriculum. Pharmacy practice areas of therapeutics, drug information, pharmaceutical care, and experiential education permeate each year through Pharmacy Practice Experiences (PPE). PPE capitalizes on community outreach and service learning that taps into Hawaii's cultural values and diverse biosphere inclusive of its Native Hawaiian Health systems and community practices that embody cultural healing and alternative therapeutics.
Facilities
The construction for DKICP's permanent building is slated to begin in Fall 2016.
