News and Events
Producing Leaders at All Levels of the Profession, Focusing on Development:
- Emerging leadership through the Pharm.D. program and programs for practicing pharmacists
- Executive leadership for mid-career pharmacists in managerial positions
- Evolutionary policy leadership for those who are changing health care and pharmacy through health systems policy
- Evolving practices leadership through rigorously evaluated practice models that improve pharmacists’ professional practices
Focus on Leadership Development: Why Now?
Increasingly, pharmacists are shifting from distributing medication to also addressing the complex drug therapy needs of consumers and society. This change in pharmacy practice requires the profession to overcome a critical leadership deficit.
A Legacy of Leadership
Since its founding in 1892, the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy has been a national leader in pharmacy education, practice and policy. Our alumni are health care leaders: from industry and association leaders, to deans and practitioners leading in their profession and community.
Our success in producing national pharmacy leaders is evidenced by our No. 3 ranking in the U.S.News & World Report “America’s Best Graduate Schools” issue, which ranked 102 pharmacy schools in America.
