The class of 2009 in the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy had a 100 percent pass rate on the national pharmacy licensing examination as all 61 students passed the examination on their first attempts. <\/span><\/p>\n

The national pass rate for all colleges of pharmacy was 97.5 percent and UNMC students had an average score of 123.3, which was significantly higher than the national average (114.6). <\/span><\/p>\n

The results are a credit to both the college’s faculty and students, said Courtney Fletcher, Pharm.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy. <\/span><\/p>\n

“This is a clear illustration of the dedication of the students and our faculty to excellence in pharmacy education,” Dr. Fletcher said. “Additionally, it reflects the efforts of the college to strengthen the curriculum and ensure our students are prepared for 21st<\/sup> Century pharmacy practice.” <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the overall score, UNMC students scored above average in all three competency areas that compose the examination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nationally, 9,527 students took the examination — known as the North American Pharmacist Licensing Examination or NAPLEX — during this testing window.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each state requires pharmacy students to pass the NAPLEX as a requirement toward licensure to practice. <\/span><\/p>\n

UNMC students regularly score above the national average and have achieved 100 percent pass rates several times in the past. The last time UNMC achieved a 100 percent pass rate was in 2003. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We typically do very well on this examination, which is very gratifying,” said Charles Krobot, Pharm.D., associate dean for student affairs in the College of Pharmacy. “It’s confirmation that we do a pretty good job educating our students.”<\/p>\n

As the state’s only academic health science center, UNMC is on the leading edge of health care. Breakthroughs are possible because hard-working researchers, educators and clinicians are resolved to work together to fuel discovery. <\/span><\/i><\/span>In 2009, UNMC’s extramural research support topped $100 million for the first time, resulting in the creation of 3,600 jobs in Nebraska. UNMC’s academic excellence is shown through its award-winning programs, and its educational programs are responsible for training more health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other institution. Through its commitment to education, research, patient care and outreach, UNMC and its hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center, have established themselves as one of the country’s leading health care centers. UNMC’s physician practice group, UNMC Physicians, includes 550 physicians in 50 specialties and subspecialties who practice primarily in The Nebraska Medical Center.
