As I transition into the role of Dean at the University of Wyoming School of Pharmacy, I see change, both within the university and in the arena of health care. The opportunities associated with these changes are numerous, but we have to embrace them. The school believes this is accomplished through an overall purpose to create, share, and apply knowledge. We do this through community, quality, and value.
Our small, robust community facilitates the free exchange of knowledge within its circles. The community of faculty, students, staff, administrators, and researchers, with the help of our alumni and stakeholders, expands the reach of this knowledge through publications, presentations, and everyday practice. Expectations for members of the community are high.
The school is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), indicating that we meet their quality benchmarks. As a school, we are striving to exceed the minimum level of these standards. Because of this, the value to the individual, the school, and the profession will be increased. Support for this is shown through the fact that in the last several years our students have performed above the national average on the licensing examinations. Our students and graduates are also highly regarded in the world of pharmacy practice.
We welcome you to join us in our community. We are reaching for the opportunities of change.
