Neurocognitive Fellowship

Nova Southeastern University College of Pharmacy is offering a two year Fellowship with a focus on cognitive function as it relates to medication adherence and health literacy. The primary emphasis of this first of its kind program is to develop the candidate into an independent clinical pharmacy researcher for a career in academia, industry, or consulting. The fellow will initially assist the director with current ongoing projects and ultimately become the primary investigator for at least one study, including: grant submission, protocol design, subject recruitment, data collection and analysis, poster/platform presentation, and manuscript submission to a peer-reviewed journal. The latter stages of the program will allow the fellow the opportunity to develop a study that may be initiated upon accepting their first academic position.

The fellowship program also entails providing formal pharmacy classroom and experiential training and teaching pharmacy students in an array of settings including, but not limited to, didactic, patient care lab, and physical assessment. Opportunities for teaching in other health programs (e.g., osteopathic medicine, physician assistant) may also be available.
It is expected that the fellow will spend approximately 70% of their time in research related activities. Travel to a foreign country for research purposes may also be available.
Finally, the opportunity to take courses in our PhD program will be available.
