Faculty and Staff
The faculty and staff of the Harrison School of Pharmacy are members of a collegial, learning community dedicated to educating pharmacists who will (1) confidently embrace the responsibilities of a professional pharmacy general practitioner, (2) advance the profession of pharmacy, (3) be dedicated citizens and leaders in their respective communities, and (4) display the attitudes, behaviors and characteristics of role models. To achieve these four outcomes, the faculty collectively own and are responsible for the curriculum. Individual faculty members are entrusted as stewards over specific sections of that curriculum. In essence, the pharmacy curriculum (established ability based outcomes, specific content, desired skills and behaviors, instructional approach, evaluation and assessment) is the property of all pharmacy faculty and single courses are led by individual faculty or groups of faculty under the direction of the faculty as a whole through a critical, collegial, and consensual process. The staff play a central role in supporting and integrating the work of the learning community.
Mentoring and learning-centered teaching incorporate innovative methods to integrate knowledge with current practices and foster creative ideas for individual and collective future pharmacy practice. Ample formative practice time enables student pharmacists to achieve a minimum level of competency in the outcome expectations.
The faculty and staff demonstrate through their teaching, practice, research and professional lives the highest standards of integrity, personal accountability, and professionalism. They exude a passion for the pharmacy profession and high expectations of their students. Respect and caring for the individual student, patient, colleague or other person, guides their daily interactions.
