By The Numbers...

Present:

Approximate number of graduates every year from the schools of pharmacy in California as of 2011:

Loma Linda                                                                         85
Touro                                                                                100
Skaggs (UCSD)                                                                  60
UCSF                                                                               122
USC                                                                                 190
UOP                                                                                 100
Western                                                                            120

Total                                                                                 777

Future:

Add California Northstate with its first class in 2012 and the four additional schools slated to open in the near future and the number of new pharmacists graduating will easily exceed 1000 every year!

The burning question is whether an already well saturated job market can accommodate this large (and still growing)  influx of new pharmacists...
