    Recent Accomplishments:

    WesternU College of Pharmacy has been selected as one of the inaugural Academia – Community Transformation (ACT) Community Pharmacy Centers of Excellence from AACP! The award recognizes institutions that have demonstrated a significant commitment to community pharmacy advancement in teaching, service, scholarship, leadership and partnerships. This national honor has been awarded to only 18 out of 143 schools of pharmacy around the nation, and the only one in our state. The Centers of Excellence will serve as ambassadors for pharmacy academia through convenings with pharmacy and healthcare industry leaders, uniting to mobilize and amplify community pharmacy practice transformation efforts. The achievement is a result of a collaborative team effort from Drs. Micah Hata (who will serve as our ACT champion), Anandi Law and Preeti Kotha! They will be formally recognized by the AACP during the annual meeting in Boston next month.
