About Us

We’re known for two things: being bold and innovative in all that we do. Our proud tradition comes alive daily through students, alums, faculty, and staff—working together to provide innovative education, conduct pioneering research, deliver cutting-edge clinical practice, and improve public health.

Our students, faculty, staff, and alums are among the world's brightest and most dedicated health professionals and scientists. From Tokyo, Japan, to London, Kentucky, we’ve committed to transforming patient-centered care. We continually rank as a top-ten institution, and our research funding has doubled since 2012. Our impact report highlights just a few of the many wins of our pharmacy family.

Our Vision

To boldly lead collaborative innovation that improves health. 

Our Mission

To provide innovative education, conduct pioneering research, deliver cutting-edge clinical practice, and lead change to improve health in our communities and beyond.   

Our Values

• As a college community we strive to establish a healthy and engaging environment that embraces our core missions of education, research, practice, and community collaboration by: 

• Encouraging diversity of thought (through collaboration, openness, collegiality, participation, and inspiration). 

• Nurturing innovation and excellence in all we do (through recognizing new ways of being and doing, promoting measured risk-taking, persevering with rigor, and rewarding thoughtful, forward-thinking change). 

• Creating a culture of trust and accountability (through respect, empathy, compassion, integrity, accountability, and safety). 

• Committing to serve and support others (through an unselfish mindset, collegiality, collaboration, wellbeing, and commitment to being service-oriented). 

• Prioritizing and promoting social and individual wellness (health of community, mental health, physical health, professional health, safety, social wellness, and personal community). 

• Stewarding our resources (through intentional prioritization of our time, funds, and spaces to maximize returns for strategic goals and minimize investment in non-critical work).
