Faculty and Staff Recognition and Awards
INTRODUCTION
As an SIUE School of Pharmacy student, you are part of the only downstate Illinois pharmacy doctorate program, addressing the growing need in Southern and Central Illinois, as well as the nation at large, for well-trained pharmacists in a career field that is experiencing rapid and dramatic growth.
You are part of an exciting program, one that recently was awarded full accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) . The School of Pharmacy at SIUE has been hailed nationally as a model program.
Founding Pharmacy Dean Philip Medon said “achieving full accreditation status takes true teamwork. Every one of our stakeholders—students, faculty, staff, administrators and preceptors —played a role in this achievement and should be gratified and proud their outstanding work has been recognized.”
With the theme of Nurturing for Life, we focus on the premise that pharmacists improve patient care through the medicine and information they provide. In health care facilities of all types, today’s pharmacists advise other medical professionals on the selection and effects of drugs. You will work alongside other health professionals, greatly enhancing the educational experience for our students.
