About Online POP
The Online Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy (Online POP) was established in 2006 by Dr. David Brushwood, R.Ph., JD, Professor Emeritus, and more than 650 students have completed the program. Since inception, the program has been delivered in an online format, enabling working professionals across the country and internationally to enroll. The program was initially focused pharmaceutical policy and regulation – an area that remains a key focus today.
Most students in the Online POP program complete a Master’s of Science (M.S.) in Pharmacy degree in combination with a graduate certificate in their specialization of choice; however some students pursue a graduate certificate alone.
The online program is part of the Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy (POP Department) in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy. In addition to the online graduate program, the POP Department offers residential M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. Research and teaching is focused on the use and effects of medications in society and ways to improve the drug use process. The residential degree programs are research intensive; in contrast, the online curriculum emphasizes the application of the subjects to real world settings.
