Drake University MS in Clinical Psychopharmacology Program:
A mid-sized, private university founded in 1881 in Des Moines, Iowa, Drake University offers the benefits and resources of a larger institution along with the advantages of intimate class sizes and close personal relationships.
Drake is committed to providing students with life-defining opportunities that lead to successful careers and personal lives. The cornerstone of the Drake experience is the exceptional learning environment.
Drake University's commitment to academic excellence and innovation extends to its online MS in Clinical Psychopharmacology (MSCP) program, making it an ideal choice for doctoral trained psychologists looking to elevate their practices.
Key Highlights of the Program:
Comprehensive Curriculum: The program provides a comprehensive understanding of physiology, pharmacology, psychopharmacotherapy and patient assessment skills, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions regarding medication management in mental healthcare.
Experienced Faculty: Our program is distinct through providing instruction by experienced faculty members who are subject matter experts including prescribing psychologists and pharmacologists, pharmacists, and physicians. Our instructors practice each day specifically in the subjects they teach.
Flexible Learning: Designed to accommodate working professionals, the program offers flexible online courses, allowing students to balance studies with their professional and personal commitments. One in-person weekend at the end of the program is required to develop patient assessment skills.
Drake’s MSCP program prepares psychologists to integrate medication management, when appropriate, into their psychotherapy practice in a safe, responsible, effective, and compassionate manner to serve all patients of diverse backgrounds in a safe, welcoming, and affirming manner.
