At ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, we are on track to achieve our goal of providing a high-quality pharmacy education and becoming a leader in translational/clinical research.
We are producing graduates who understand the importance of patient-centered healthcare through a comprehensive, evidence-based and integrated education that guides the student from understanding the healthy patient to dealing with complicated disease states. The importance of the pharmacist in direct patient care cannot be underestimated and we want our students to learn how to effectively manage the health of local and regional populations, especially patients with chronic disease states.
To accomplish all this, we need to increase our partnerships with academics and scientists, with individuals and groups in government and industry, and with donors.
We hope you will consider to the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Every gift — large or small — makes a difference.
