Since 1946, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC has made a lasting difference in the health and well being of people throughout British Columbia and beyond. We have graduated over 4,000 pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists who make outstanding contributions in the community, hospitals, government, academia, and industry. We have developed strong research capabilities and continue to close the gap in our quest to first understand disease – then conquer it – while simultaneously studying the workings of the health care system. In addition, we continue to enhance our environment for quality learning, effective communication, practical research discovery, collaboration and partnerships to transform the future of health care for the benefit of all.
