The thrust of the Department's educational and research programs is "to contribute to the health and the welfare of citizens by providing basic clinical research related to the development and safe use of pharmaceuticals."
Reflecting that philosophy, it trains pharmacists, educators, and researchers who are equipped with sophisticated pharmaceutical knowledge and skills, guided by their ethics and sense of responsibility as medical professionals and by a foundation of comprehensive knowledge of basic science, and who are eager to pursue lifelong self-growth.
To that end, the Department works to endow students with sure academic skills and abilities by adopting small class sizes, offering courses in basic pharmaceutics for first-and second-year students, and offering highly specialized courses in pharmaceutics, including the clinical skills that students will need to work as pharmacologists, for fifth-and sixth-year students.
