School of Pharmacy Vision:

Our Vision recognizes Belmont University School of Pharmacy faculty and staff responsibilities to the discipline of pharmacy, to the health of our communities, and to Belmont University.

To become a nationally-recognized practice and leadership center in pharmacy education, scholarship, patient-centric care and service.  We see ourselves as a prominent resource for training and supporting competent, compassionate practitioners with a passion for life-long professional improvement and service to the profession and patients. 

School of Pharmacy Structure

Fulfilling the School of Pharmacy mission and vision requires a solid philosophical foundation upon which are placed clear, mission-relevant goals.  Belmont University School of Pharmacy faculty and staff have established four fundamental service pillars and associated goals to guide all aspects of the Belmont University School of Pharmacy:

  • Management: Successful pharmacists require more than a base in the science of pharmacy; long-term career success and responsible patient care requires more-than-passing training in the art and science of management.  This is one of the profession's greatest needs.
  • Pharmacy PillarsInformatics: Information systems infuse all aspects of health care delivery; career competence requires that ability to use and to develop systems that integrate and extend current and emerging technologies.
  • Pharmacotherapy: Contemporary health care is a team-based, complex enterprise; professional effectiveness requires knowledge of and longitudinal experience collaborating with multiple health care partners to navigate the complexity of the health care system so that all patients receive exceptional care.
  • Missions: Pharmacy is about serving others and what distinguishes fully-developed pharmacists is the extent to which concern for others and a service commitment infuses all aspects of the pharmacist's life; leadership in the profession and one's community requires understanding of and a commitment to health care access and equity for underserved populations.
