A Pharmacy School Built to Meet Modern Health Modern Challenges, Opportunities

Описание: It is an extremely exciting time for the VCU School of Pharmacy — and by extension, greater Richmond and all of Virginia have reason to look ahead with enthusiasm when it comes to public health.

From educating the next generation of pharmacists who will approach the profession in an entirely new patient-centered way, to training a pharmaceutical manufacturing workforce that will help bring critical medicine production back to U.S. soil, to testing the safety of medications for health systems across the region, the school is poised to directly improve health, safety and the economy in Central Virginia and across the country.

The school’s new dean, K.C. Ogbonna, Pharm.D., is leading these efforts and ensuring the school meets the coming challenges and opportunities within the pharmacy profession and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

“We have a great history here at VCU School of Pharmacy — 125 years of not just pharmaceutical education, but thinking critically about how to push the envelope,” Dr. Ogbonna said. “Over the next 125 years, what do we want to be known for?”

“How do we create a workforce that is truly ready to change what healthcare looks like not just today, but tomorrow,” Dean Ogbonna said. “We need donors rallying around our faculty, our staff and our students. And making a commitment to say, ‘we also believe in the school of pharmacy and there are great years ahead.’”
