President's Message
The establishment of a Pharmacy School has been the dream of Panhandle residents for many years. That dream is now realized in the faculty, students and brick and concrete on the Amarillo campus of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. The dream, however, is only truly fulfilled by the provision of quality health care to the Panhandle and West Texas.
Texas Tech is proud of the contributions of the health care professionals it has already trained, those who have graduated from the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health. It is exciting to be involved with the new School of Pharmacy.
I would like to offer you this opportunity to make dreams come true. The dreams you hold for yourself as well as those of the people we serve. Join us as a new member of this School of Pharmacy and help wishes and dreams become better health for the people of West Texas.
David R. Smith, M.D.
Dean's Message
The residents of the Texas Panhandle worked for many years to build a pharmacy school. It was the vision of a dedicated group of pharmacists, citizens, and legislators to provide pharmacy education in West Texas.
Today that vision is evident on the horizon of Amarillo as the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy overlooks the Harrington Regional Medical Center.
Faculty, staff and, yes, doctoral candidates have come together to provide for the future of pharmacy and patient care. We offer an innovative curriculum. We have progressive teaching methods and technologies that will prepare students for pharmacy practice today and for the years to come. I can assure you that you will be intellectually challenged over the next four years.
I invite you to join in the excitement of the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy. You will partner with other health care professionals to provide patient care. You will make a difference and we want to provide you with the knowledge and skills to make that difference be the very best.
Arthur A. Nelson, Jr., R.Ph, Ph.D.
