University of Houston College of Pharmacy
Texas Medical Center Campus

The University of Houston College of Pharmacy has facilities both on the University of Houston campus and, since 1980, in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center (TMC). At TMC, students have the opportunity to train with physicians, medical students and members of our clinical faculty. In addition to faculty and staff offices, TMC also houses research laboratories, classrooms and the Contemporary Pharmacy Practice Laboratory. In the laboratory, students learn techniques in pharmaceutical care by role-playing situations they will experience as pharmacists. TMC also is home to another laboratory, the Sterile Products Laboratory, which teaches students the latest techniques in the preparation of sterile products and the use of related equipment. From this campus, students have the benefit of accessing the Texas Medical Center Library, which is one of the leading biomedical libraries in the United States.

Students receive their basic pharmaceutical science education on the UH campus. At the Texas Medical Center they are instructed in contemporary pharmacy practice and are provided training through structured experiences in hospital, clinical, chain and community pharmacy practice.

Pharmacy students participate in clerkships and externships at Texas Medical Center hospitals, 30 community hospitals in the surrounding metropolitan areas and numerous other institutions throughout the state.

College faculty research and program initiatives include cardiovascular studies, transdermal drug delivery, neuropharmacology, signal transduction mechanisms, aging and exercise, infectious disease protocols, and patient counseling and compliance.
