Learn more about our faculty research areas below.
PhARM Program
The Pharmacy Addictions Research & Medicine (PhARM) Program provides continuing education to health professionals via the Texas Opioid Training Initiative, leads opioid poisoning prevention efforts through Operation Naloxone, and conducts innovative research to identify and address gaps in access to substance use disorder treatment and harm reduction resources.
Texas Well-Being
Many Pharmacy Practice faculty participate in the Well-being in Learning Environments project (also known as Texas Well-being), which provides faculty with ideas and support for embedding wellness practices in their courses and classrooms through several resources, including a guidebook, website, and Canvas course (UT EID login required). The guidebook and website describe dozens of strategies and techniques UT faculty have used in their classrooms and other learning environments to support students’ mental and emotional health.
Pharm.D. Honors Research Program
Pharm.D. students looking for educational stimulation and challenge beyond the traditional curriculum are invited to participate in the college’s Honors Program. Honors Program students participate in research projects with faculty mentors, including Pharmacy Practice faculty, and present their results at college seminars. Many of these students also present their results at national meetings and in peer-reviewed journal articles.
