To promote a successful academic experience for TCOP Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students, the OSA provides holistic student development programming to support and enhance the educational, personal, and professional journey beginning with New Student Integration, and including Records and Registration support, Financial Aid referrals, and Student Activities.

Prior to matriculation, students are assigned a faculty student success coach for the duration of the PharmD program. Faculty coaches meet with students (coachees) individually and in small groups to assist students with developing the skills necessary to be successful in their future clinical practice. Additionally, faculty coaches serve in a mentoring role by providing coachees with personal, academic, and professional advisement; promoting and nurturing students’ lifelong learning endeavors; and encouraging students to seek and utilize necessary resources.

There are numerous Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) to which students can belong during their tenures at TCOP. The Student Leadership Council (SLC) was established in the Fall 2011 and is the umbrella organization from which all other professional organizations will be developed. The following organizations have previously been offered at USF TCOP. Student Leadership Council (SLC)

• American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP)
• Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP)
• American Pharmacist Association – (APhA – ASP)

There are many professional opportunities for graduates of a PharmD program. The APhA Career Pathways program is a tool that is used by students to identify their areas of interest within the profession. Workshops will be incorporated throughout the curriculum to support students in the decision-making process and to provide exposure to the diverse career paths within the Pharmacy profession. Professional coaching services are available for students seeking support with CV development, mock interviews, and residency preparation.

Academic support programs offered through the OSA are available to assist students with refining their learning methods and strategies. Support programs include Academic Coaching, Supplemental Instruction (SI), and Accommodated Testing for students with documented disabilities as designated by the USF office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Academic Coaching is offered to assist students with general learning strategies and techniques, study skills, academic confidence, test preparation, and time management. Supplemental Instruction is an academic support program in which PY2-PY4 TCOP students (SI Facilitators) provide individual, small group, and large group academic tutoring to students enrolled in historically difficult courses within the Pharm D Program.

Brief solution-based personal development services for general adjustment, academic, or interpersonal concerns are available through the OSA.

Students who seek assistance through our office are assured of confidentiality as limited by federal disclosure law and educational integrity. There is also a comprehensive Counseling Center at USF should students benefit from more intensive or ongoing mental health support to whom OSA can also make referrals.

All USF Health students are supported by USF Health Shared Student Services Financial Aid.
