Wegmans School of Pharmacy
Transforming Pharmacy Education, Expanding Community Impact
The Wegmans School of Pharmacy combines foundational science, hands-on clinical pharmacy practice and service to the community to produce empathetic, patient-centered pharmacists for all communities. From international service trips to fourth-year clinical rotations in the local community, pharmacy students work as part of an interdisciplinary team to provide pharmacy care services, patient counseling, and vital medication to their patients in all practice settings. Your gift directly supports these efforts, both in the classroom and beyond, to make a lasting impact on public health in our communities.
