Supporting Practicing Pharmacists

Pharmacy’s role in the American health care system is changing, and STLCOP is helping to lead that change. As a pharmacist, you are an integral part of patient health teams, providing expertise that will ensure patients properly and safely use their medications. Through the excellent education we provide to students and the continuing professional development programs we provide for practicing pharmacists, STLCOP is helping to advance the practice and promote the highest level of patient-centered care.

Pharmacists are an integral part of the American health care team. They are the medication experts, working to ensure that patients receive the proper drug therapy and know how to properly use their medicines.

St. Louis College of Pharmacy provides students with undergraduate and professional coursework and experiences which enable them to take on that vital role in today’s fast-changing health care industry. Our Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree prepares our students for successful and satisfying careers.
