Dr. Jimmy Pruitt founded Pharmacy and Acute Care University (PACU).  During our conversation, we talk about the features of Pharmacy and Acute Care University.  Who is it for?  What do students learn?  How much does it cost? And, more.

My Back-to-School Series features interviews with 9 pharmacists who teach online courses. Since it’s back-to-school time for my kids, I created a Back-to-School series for my podcast! Check out the series, and get inspired to either learn or create!
