School of Pharmacy posts 100 percent on national boards

     Students from Campbell University’s School of Pharmacy again posted a 100 percent passage rate on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX). This is the 10th time in the school’s 16-year history that a 100 percent passage rate on the exam has been achieved.
     “We want to thank our faculty and preceptors for their excellent work in preparing our students for the exam,” said Dr. Ronald Maddox, dean of the School of Pharmacy.      “Facilities are important, but I believe the success of the School of Pharmacy is due to its superb students, faculty and preceptors.”
     A total of 14 students took the exam during the test window of January 1-April 30, 2005. Campbell scored 10.53 percentage points higher on the exam than the state average of 89.47 and 17.12 points higher than the national average of 82.88 percent. Since its establishment in 1986, the School of Pharmacy has maintained a 99 percent passage rate on both state and national boards.
     The Campbell University School of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The school’s mission is to train clinical pharmacists in a Christian environment to meet existing and future healthcare needs and to guide students to become well-adjusted, exemplary citizens and community leaders.
     In 2001, Campbell completed construction on a $3.2 million Pharmacy Research Facility designed to integrate clinical research and pharmaceutical sciences programs with industry demands. On May 24, the university will break ground on a $9.9 million, 42,000 square-foot pharmacy teaching facility.
