Experiential Programs
When the Texas Legislature established Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy in 1993, it created the first publicly supported pharmacy program in the United States in nearly five decades. State legislators also mandated that the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy be located in Amarillo. The first classes began in August 1996 and the school's steady growth since that time has helped the state of Texas address its pharmacist shortage: more than 90 percent of students who have graduated from Ï㽶ֱ²¥ Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy have remained in the Lone Star state.
Since its inception, Ï㽶ֱ²¥ Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy has embraced new classroom technologies to advance its curriculum and prepare students for the ever-increasing opportunities that exist in pharmacy today. It was the first program in the nation to require all of its students to have laptop computers and to deliver materials and email services in support of coursework. The Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy also requires its students to complete more clinical training hours that any other pharmacy program in the country.
In November 2009, the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy expanded the Amarillo campus by opening its Pharmacy Academic Center. The 23,000 square-foot facility provides state-of-the-art classrooms and clinical simulation facilities and gives the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy the ability to increase its Amarillo class sizes from 90 students in 2009-2010 to 115 students beginning in 2010-2011.
The Ï㽶ֱ²¥ campus in Amarillo also includes a new 48,000 square-foot biological sciences research building and the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy presently occupies approximately 80 percent of the facility's assigned laboratory and office space. Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy researchers collaborate with Ï㽶ֱ²¥ School of Medicine investigators whose research is focused upon cancer biology and therapeutic drug delivery.
