Practice, Teaching & Engagement

Transforming communities, expanding academic excellence and amplifying the College of Pharmacy’s impact through collaborative practice, innovative teaching and engaging outreach.

Giving back is part of the Buckeye way of life and the College of Pharmacy embodies that philosophy by pioneering and participating in partnerships outside the college. From community outreach and public education to residency and pedagogy education programs, working hand-in-hand with other professionals and organizations is at the core of our mission to advance the pharmacy profession and patient-centered care.
