Co-Curricular Mission & Vision
Consistent with the mission and vision of the College of Pharmacy and 91ÅÝܽ, the vision of the co-curricular approach is for pharmacy students to serve the greater community by utilizing our academic disciplines as avenues for dialogue and creation with the world outside. This vision is advanced as students engage in activities outside the classroom that complement and augment material learned in the didactic and experiential curriculum. Through these activities, students participate in public service in order to improve access to health services, health information and healthcare for a broad array of the culturally diverse population in the New York metropolitan area in a culturally sensitive and competent manner. Students also track their own personal and professional development under the guidance of an on-campus mentor and preceptors at off-campus events. By fostering the students’ personal and professional development, the college guides our students to become leading advocates, navigators, and providers for the general public. The co-curricular program enables our students to effectively collaborate with other health professionals and members of the community, to facilitate improved access to healthcare, and address important health issues in the community.
