From the Dean's Desk

I wish you all a Happy American Pharmacists Month! As pharmacists, you play key roles in advancing the level of health care provided to patients and in helping make your communities safer. I want to take this moment to thank each of you for your dedication to our profession.

Whether you are providing direct patient care, advancing research in the pharmaceutical industry, helping develop policy that will impact how pharmacists provide care in the future, or teaching the next generation of pharmacy professionals, the commitment and value you bring does not go unnoticed. I am grateful to have you as part of our Gamecock Pharmacy family.
