In addition to traditional medication dispensing, community pharmacists provide essential services such as health screenings, vaccinations, and personalized counseling on the safe use of medications. Community pharmacists help manage chronic diseases, guide patients on over-the-counter treatments, and offer preventive care, contributing to overall public health. Their unique position allows them to build lasting relationships with patients, ensuring continuity of care and fostering a proactive approach to health management.
Our pharmacy curriculum is designed to integrate innovative practice elements throughout various required and elective courses and experiences. Embracing innovation ensures that community pharmacies remain a pivotal component of the healthcare system, delivering cutting-edge, patient-centered care and adapting to the dynamic landscape of healthcare services.
