College of Pharmacy
Committed to developing patient-centric pharmacy professionals trained in an interprofessional environment
About us
The global vision of the College of Pharmacy is to be an extraordinary team committed to a culture of excellence, innovation, equity and collaboration to improve health.
Our motto, “We make healthcare better,” reflects the increasing contribution to healthcare that can be provided by doctors of pharmacy trained in the highly interprofessional and primary care environment present at UNT Health. Our focus is on the patient. Making healthcare better crucially depends upon improved teamwork of a variety of healthcare professionals and better access for patients. Doctors of pharmacy involved in disease and medication management make healthcare better by increasing safety, improving outcomes and reducing costs.
Our motto also extends to the contributions that our faculty, postdoctoral associates, graduate students and research staff make to the development of new and more effective therapies for the promotion of health and treatment of disease.
