You have probably watched an old cowboy show where one cowboy says, “There no room for two of us in this town.” Is there a need for two colleges of pharmacy in Phoenix? It looks like there is, based on a cordial meeting I had recently with Denny McCallian, dean at the Midwestern University College of Pharmacy. We agreed that there is a shortage of pharmacists that both universities are trying to meet. It was also agreed that each university would benefit from having high quality pharmacy services to serve as good sites for the experiential rotations required in both of our curricula. It is in that spirit that the UA College of Pharmacy and Midwestern University co-sponsor a preceptors’ workshop annually at the Arizona Pharmacists Alliance meeting. Another topic that was discussed was making it easier for preceptors to evaluate students from both universities by standardizing evaluation forms. It looks like the UA College of Pharmacy is a welcome newcomer in this town.

Room in this town?
