The development of pharmacy leaders is central to the mission of the PharmD program and UCSF student pharmacists excel in leadership and community service. More than 80% of UCSF student pharmacists participate in student organizations and their contributions are broad and diverse. UCSF student pharmacists sponsor and coordinate community projects and health fairs, are active in professional organizations at the local, state and national levels and influence decisions within the School and on campus through representation in governing committees and special projects.

The UCSF School of Pharmacy is committed to admitting PharmD students who have diverse cultural, economic, and social backgrounds. Although grade point average is an important factor, it is not the sole reason for acceptance. In addition to intellectual and academic competence, the School's admissions committee considers communication skills, leadership ability, community service, health care-related or research experience, and motivation for pursuing a career in pharmacy.
