This experiential rotation allows
the Pharm.D. candidate access to a unique and challenging area of
pharmacy practice in the state’s prison system. Based at the HUMC in
Fogarty Hall and RI Department of Corrections facilities in Cranston,
students will experience first hand the practice of pharmacy in a

students at RIDOC are expected to interact with nurses and physicians in

students on rotation at RIDOC. On a daily basis students will be
