About Pre-Pharmacy
Pharmacists are health care professionals skilled in understanding and monitoring drug therapy, uses, and interactions. In addition to filling and labeling prescriptions, pharmacists counsel patients, consult with physicians, and work with healthcare providers on clinical research or to develop policies for drug use. Pharmacists ensure that patients obtain the maximum benefit from their medications with the least side effects and at the most affordable price.
In addition to possessing a technical skill set for understanding drug differences and therapies, pharmacists possess strong written and verbal communication skills, are able to identify and solve problems, and can effectively collaborate with patients, physicians, and other health care providers.
Portland State University (PSU) offers a strong Pre-Pharmacy program that enables students to complete their prerequisite coursework, earn a baccalaureate degree, and obtain assistance in preparing for and applying to pharmacy schools across the country.
Pre-Pharmacy is a professional track (not a major), but common majors for Pre-Pharmacy students include Science, Biology, and Chemistry. Students can choose any major while also completing their pre-pharmacy coursework. Students can discuss with their Pre-Pharmacy advisor how these two components fit together in their course plans.
Prospective students interested in PSU can meet with a Pre-Pharmacy advisor to learn about the Pre-Pharmacy track.
