Strength in Numbers

The UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences was the first in the UC-system to offer an undergraduate degree in pharmaceutical sciences. Today, we are the first public pharmacy school in the Los Angeles-Orange County region. As part of the Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences, we actively collaborate with schools and programs in medicine, nursing, and population, public health, and the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute to educate, train, and mentor the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists and clinical pharmacists.

Pharmacists of the future

“The benefit [of experiential education] is you get experience talking to patients, providing consults, and administering medicine and vaccines to real patients. You can’t only learn in a controlled environment. You have to introduce all these very uncontrollable variables in real-life settings because you get better by doing.” (Erin Knox)
