Message from Dean Brazeau
Welcome to the UNE College of Pharmacy
Welcome to the College of Pharmacy at the University of New England. The College of Pharmacy is a growing and dynamic program housed in our new and state-of-the art building on the Portland Campus.
The College admitted our first professional doctoral classes in the fall 2009 and 2010 semesters, with 99 and 97 students respectively. Members of these culturally diverse classes are from all over the United States and the world. We are poised for success in the areas of inter-professional education, scholarship, clinical practice and service.
I enthusiastically encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our outstanding Doctor of Pharmacy program. The program provides our students with the knowledge, skills and experiences needed for a wide variety of pharmacy career options in the health care environment, now and in the future.
A hallmark feature of our Doctor of Pharmacy program is the focus on scholarly and creative activities by our students, faculty and staff. Although we are a young program, we value the opportunity for you to develop your individual intellectual curiosity and passion by becoming engaged in scholarly activities whether they involve faculty research efforts, faculty clinical practice sites or our classroom and teaching laboratory experiences. The College has very dedicated faculty members, staff members and pharmacy preceptors committed to your personal and professional growth throughout your Pharm.D. education and pharmacy career.
The student pharmacists in our program continually challenge each other and the faculty and staff as we collectively advance research in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences and strive for continued improvements in teaching and learning in our classrooms, laboratories and practice sites with the goal of providing outstanding patient care.
The College values the importance of your involvement in professional organizations and our communities. This commitment to service provides educational experiences which assist in the development of life-long learning skills and social responsibility that pharmacists have to their community.
