School of Pharmacy

The Center for Integrative Health at Duquesne University partnered with the existing resources in neighborhoods and has supported organizations so that we could overcome the barriers that were also identified. It starts with the community. They're the foundation. I think that what's so special about what we've built, is that we work with communities to identify needs and to promote health equity.

Engagement in professional pharmacy organizations provides students with the opportunity to hone their leadership and practice skills, provide service to the community, gain access to the rich array of resources that the parent organization can provide, participate in conferences at the national and state level, and most importantly, network with students and practitioners across the country. Networking alone provides students with a benefit beyond measure.

The Academic Partners Program connects School of Pharmacy resources, including practice-based faculty, to its institution and community-based pharmacy practice partners to improve patient and organizational outcomes, enhance the pharmacy profession, and enrich student pharmacist education. This provides the School with the platform to continue to advance the School’s teaching, research and service outcomes.
