We developed the Husky Pharmacist alongside our innovative curriculum to answer the question “Who is the pharmacist we are graduating?” Husky Pharmacist qualities showcase our values and highlight the characteristics and skills that our students come to embody as they complete the program. The role of the pharmacist as a “provider” is a key feature, coupled with leadership, collaboration and adaptability which are essential for the pharmacist looking to practice at the top of their license and keep up with the everchanging landscape of healthcare.

Strategic Plan
The School of Pharmacy Strategic Plan 2022-2025 guides our actions, decisions and priorities. There are three sections: 1) revised Vision & Mission statements; 2) a description of our Core Values; and 3) the Pillars & Goals of our Strategic Plan. These elements combined communicate who we are as an organization and act as a map for the road ahead.
