School of Pharmacy

Welcome to the Regis University School of Pharmacy, the newest doctoral program at Regis University and in the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions (RHCHP).

The School of Pharmacy aspires to be the foremost school of pharmacy in the United States where students are nurtured and developed to become leaders in pharmacy practice, research, education, and public service. As a result, students graduate as professionals who are knowledgeable, skillful, and principled, and who are able to make a positive impact on the dramatically changing role of pharmacists in our transforming society. They are educated to be committed to excellence in healthcare, evidenced not only by their knowledge and abilities, but also by their quality of care, integrity, compassion, respect, advocacy, initiative, service and leadership. To achieve these goals, faculty members are dedicated to providing innovative practice models, exploring novel applications of basic and clinical research, and illustrating the value of lifelong learning.

The School of Pharmacy offers a progressive and innovative curriculum that includes a comprehensive foundation in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, social, administrative, and clinical sciences. It combines integrated content with Team-Based Learning. Though relatively new to the field of pharmacy education, Team-Based Learning (TBL) has a history of proven success as a teaching method in medical schools and schools of business. In contrast to traditional lecture formats used to deliver information to students, the TBL method uses a working group approach. Students are divided into teams of six or seven members who work together to learn subject matter for an extended period of time, such as a semester or even a year. They study assigned material on their own prior to coming to class, where they then apply their gained knowledge to activities with their teammates.

Since its inception, the School of Pharmacy has received enthusiastic and far-reaching support from the clinical community in the Denver metro area and beyond. As a result, a variety of experiential learning situations are available to our students. They acquire hands-on experience under the guidance of professional preceptors in hospital and clinic settings, interacting with diverse and multicultural patients. In addition, an integral component of our experiential program involves service learning which provides students with opportunities to learn through community outreach activities both locally and abroad. Please see the Service Learning link at the top of the page for an in-depth look at this unique and valuable program.
