Spotlight on the WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences! 🌟
We’re continuing our series featuring the colleges that make up our campus, and today we’re highlighting Washington State University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. 💊 It’s also American Pharmacists Month, so it seemed like the perfect time to highlight the learning, researching and preparing for careers in pharmacy right here in Spokane!
🌟 Did you know? Pharmacy has been part of Washington State University for more than 135 years and was one of the university’s original areas of study and the longest running program on our campus.
Beyond the classroom, PharmD students get experience at more than 250 practice sites across Washington, California, Oregon and Idaho, as well as sites around the country and world. These experiences give students the chance to put what they’re learning into practice in a variety of health care settings. 💊🌎💊
Outside of the pharmacy degree, the college also offers graduate programs (PhD and Master’s) for students interested in pursuing research, or a Bachelor of Science degree designed to help students take their first steps towards future health care careers.
The college is home to research in areas like drug discovery, cancer, drug metabolism and precision medicine, with faculty and students working to develop new treatments, better understand how the body processes medications, and improve patient care for all . 🔬
Thank you to all the Coug pharmacists, student pharmacists, researchers, faculty and alumni actively bettering and shaping the world of health care and pharmacy every day. ❤️Happy American Pharmacists Month! 💊
