Dean Victor A. Yanchick, Ph.D.

Welcome to the School of Pharmacy at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical College of Virginia (MCV) Campus. We are pleased that you have an interest in our programs. Pharmacy has been an integral part of the Medical College of Virginia Campus since 1837.

Since its inception in 1898 the School of Pharmacy has been a leader in pharmacy education and research. Consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top schools of pharmacy in the nation, the School of Pharmacy continually strives to promote excellence in all of its programs. Our mission fully supports the mission and goals of the University and the MCV Campus.

Our mission is to educate, create knowledge, and provide service for our students, the pharmacy profession and the public. We are the only school of pharmacy to offer a complete spectrum of academic programs in pharmacy in the Commonwealth of Virginia. These programs include the professional doctoral program in pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as well as the MS and Ph.D. programs in the pharmaceutical sciences.

We also offer the doctor of pharmacy program to pharmacy practitioners holding the BS degree in pharmacy in a nontraditional format. In addition, the School offers several combined degree programs such as the PharmD/PhD, PharmD/MBA,and PharmD/MPH for selected students who wish to pursue both degrees simultaneously. At the postdoctoral level we offer a number of postgraduate residencies and fellowships in a wide range of subspecialties of pharmacy practice. We also offer numerous postdoctoral fellowships in the pharmaceutical sciences.

I sincerely hope you will find our web page informative as well as applicable to your specific interests. All of us at the School of Pharmacy are excited about the many opportunities we have to offer that can make a positive impact in the health care arena, whether it is through advancement of the practice of pharmacy or through the discovery of new knowledge.

Thank you for taking a look at us.
