Students Hit Top Tier of PCOA

Four MUSC College of Pharmacy students scored in the 95th percentile of the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment® (PCOA®) exam this year.

The exam is a comprehensive tool developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to provide an independent, objective, and external measure of student performance in United States pharmacy curricula. Every pharmacy student in the country is required to take the text to meet an accreditation standard.

• Four students (Landon Johnson, Mallory Bradberry, Julia Pugh, and Ryan Smiley) scored in the 95th percentile
• Thirty students scored above the 70th percentile

Students above 70th percentile were entered into a raffle drawing. Four students won $50 Visa gift cards and one student won the top prize of a brand new pair of Apple AirPods Pro. Thanks to MUSC Innovation Station for donating the incentive!
