FPD is a course sequence that all Pharm.D. students take for six semesters throughout their first three years in the Pharm.D. program. The course invites pharmacy leaders from various fields to speak with student pharmacists in a classroom setting. Speakers will be expected to discuss their career journey and day-to-day operations in their current role; effective speakers will have strategies to engage a large group of students. 

If your organization is interested in sending a speaker to FPD, please email Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, Justin Samuel, at jsamuel@austin.utexas.edu.
