Meet the Dean

Making the world a healthier place

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Pharmacy at NEOMED. I hope our website will ignite your imagination as you discover our many exciting, innovative initiatives. I am positive our commitment to excellence in education, research, patient care, and service to neighbors and communities will be prominently conveyed.

I am deeply honored to serve as dean of the NEOMED College of Pharmacy where we are setting the standard for interprofessional health care education and research, where pharmacy and medicine students learn together…graduating pharmacy students who PROACTIVELY integrate into the health care team to collaboratively advance and deliver optimal patient care.

I believe each student comes to pharmacy school with a dream. I went to pharmacy school because I had a dream of making the world a healthier place. With the mentorship of our faculty and our students’ inquisitive minds, we offer an adventure that promises to be a model for pharmacy education in the 21st century. We invite you to explore and see why NEOMED College of Pharmacy is like no other. It’s the place to ignite your dream.
