One of the areas most impacted by covid was education.
Pharmacy schools weren’t immune to the impact of the pandemic that is now four years in our rearview mirror.
Most students graduating this year were in their first professional year of pharmacy school when the world shut down. Those students graduating are resilient, and no doubt their experience will shape their future.
Amid all the negative implications to education, I noticed the NAPLEX pass rates for the 2023 students were recently released. I was proud to see many of the schools we partner with for preceptor, immunization, and compliance education on the list! While working with them through the pandemic, we saw firsthand how hard their faculty and staff worked to keep experiential rotations going and students supported.
While the top 15 schools are listed below, I know all schools are working hard to ensure the next generation of pharmacists is top notch.
You’ve all been through a lot and we see you. Keep up the good work!

2. NAPLEX® and MPJE® Prep
Because the pandemic had an effect on NAPLEX and MPJE pass rates, we’ve partnered with renowned colleagues David Brushwood and Bill Feinberg to help student pharmacists pass NAPLEX and MPJE the FIRST time.
Last year we helped hundreds of student pharmacists and we’re doing it again this year. Â
