May 26, 2022 - Union University College of Pharmacy Class of 2021 has earned the state’s highest pass rate for first-time testers of the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) according to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Union University College of Pharmacy has earned top honors in the state for three consecutive years. Additionally, Union has scored higher than the national average for the last nine years. “Excellence in educational outcomes continues to prevail at the Union University College of Pharmacy, despite interruptions by a global pandemic,” said Sheila Mitchell, Dean of the Union University College of Pharmacy. “We are proud of the performance by our Class of 2021 graduates on their licensing board exam. We congratulate them on this outstanding achievement.” The NAPLEX is designed to evaluate general practice knowledge and is taken by pharmacy students shortly after graduating. It is one component of the licensure process, and boards of pharmacy use the exam to assess a candidate’s competence to practice as a pharmacist.
