The mission of UW PharmD student advising and counseling is to enhance the student experience, including academic success, professional growth, and personal well-being. To accomplish this objective, staff advisors and faculty mentors provide holistic, personalized guidance to PharmD students, referring to UW and community resources as needed. During Welcome Week, students are matched with an advisor who serves as a primary point of contact and support throughout your time in the program.
