Dr. Lesbia Hernández
Dean School of Pharmacy
Greetings! Welcome to the webpage of the University of Puerto
Rico - School of Pharmacy. In it you will find information on our
history, mission, goals, admission requirements, our academic programs,
faculty and alumni.
Our achievements have been significant due to the collaboration of
the faculty, staff, students and academic administrative team. The strategic
plan aligned with the strategic agenda of the University of Puerto Rico,
“Ten for the Decade” endeavors to develop sustained ties to the student
body, an academic culture of currency and assessment, competitive research,
and leadership in community initiatives.
We are proud that the Doctor of Pharmacy Program and the Division
of Continuing Education are accredited by the Accreditation Council for
Pharmacy Education, and The Residency in Pharmacy Program is accredited by
the American Society of Healthy System Pharmacists.
The Medicinal Plants Garden was re-inaugurated and named Dr.
Esteban Núñez Meléndez. It is part of the reengineered Pharmacy and
Medicinal Plants Museum of the University of Puerto Rico’s School of
Pharmacy. The Museum will facilitate research, education and service in the
area of natural products and drug discovery by providing the facilities for
workshops and meetings for the community.
The School is in continuous transformation. The Graduate
Program curriculum is being modified to a MS/PhD. A new building for the School
is under construction. This building will provide needed
facilities to support the School’s mission and vision.
The Drug Information Center has
revised its mission and expanded its scope of services to promote effective
and safe drug use.
We are confident that this coming year will continue to be a year of achievements for the School of Pharmacy of the University of Puerto Rico. I invite you to browse through the different links on this webpage to learn more about us.
