Plein Center for Geriatric Pharmacy Research, Education and Outreach

Education & Training

We offer three training opportunities to gain clinical and research skills related to the care of older adults.

  • The Plein Certificate in Geriatric Pharmacy is a 16-credit program of study to prepare student pharmacists to become specialists in geriatrics to meet the needs of older adults in all practice settings.
  • The Plein Endowment for Geriatric Pharmacy Research, or Plein Scholars, is a scholarship opportunity to foster student interest in geriatrics-related research.
  • The 2-year Geriatric Pharmacotherapy Postdoctoral Research Fellowship provides intensive mentored research experience in preparation for an independent research career in geriatric pharmacotherapy research.

We also offer conference travel support for students to present research in older adults and aging.

  • The Conference Travel Support program was designed to offset partial expenses for students to attend professional meetings to present research in older adults and aging-related topics for travel.
