ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ welcomes pharmacy students from the University of Granada

The ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ College of Pharmacy is pleased to welcome five pharmacy students who have traveled from the University of Granada (UGR) in Granada, Spain to ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ’s Portland Campus to learn and share culture with ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ pharmacy students.

The UGR pharmacy students are enrolled in a Vaccine Preventable Diseases course, and they will also participate in site visits to hospitals, community pharmacies, long-term care pharmacies, specialty pharmacies and biotechnology companies to better understand the healthcare system in the United States.  

"The exchange program between ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ and UGR creates a valuable cultural and academic learning experience for our students, says Gayle Brazeau, Ph.D., dean of ÃÛÌÒTVÊÓƵ’s College of Pharmacy. “It allows students to share ideas about healthcare systems, public health and the profession of pharmacy from the unique perspective of each country."
