Core Competencies

To that end, the School of Pharmacy has nine general and professional ability-based outcomes which are required of its graduates. These are referred to as the WSOP Core Comps. These competency statements include five general ability-based outcomes which mirror the core values of Western New England College and the pharmacy profession, as well as four professional ability-based outcomes essential to the practice of pharmacy.
