The Pharmacy Academic Fellowship, with appointment as an Instructor, at the Larkin University College of Pharmacy (LUCOP) is a 24-month postgraduate training opportunity for pharmacy graduates to obtain advanced practice, teaching, and research experience.

The Fellow will be exposed to a variety of teaching responsibilities, such as lecturing, facilitating small group-based learning, course coordination, student precepting, and student assessment.
