The USC Mann School has introduced a new executive certificate program in sports pharmacy. The four-course program will be open to pharmacists as well as students actively enrolled in a pharmacy program.
Participants will learn to support athletes in making optimal choices regarding effective clinical drug and dietary supplement options while ensuring compliance with the rules of the World Anti-Doping Code, sports federations and national anti-doping agencies.
The curriculum includes two fully online courses (Sports and Dietary Supplements, and Sports Pharmacy) and one hybrid course (Focused Sports Physical Assessments and Drug Management) that includes a weekend of in-person assessment training at the USC campus. Additionally, the program requires a thesis course that may be substituted by experiential education in one of the following:
● Interprofessional Sports Pharmacy Ambulatory Care
● Athlete-Focused Community Pharmacy Practice
● Sports Pharmacy Advanced Pharmacy Practice Elective
● Sports Pharmacy Non-Traditional Advanced Pharmacy Elective
