People and Resources

We strive for a school and community in which all members are valued and respected. We celebrate differences and welcome all voices to shape culture, policy, and outcomes. We advance our mission through shared responsibility, accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement in alignment with our PRIDE values.

The UCSF School of Pharmacy excels thanks to the contributions of people of all backgrounds and lived experiences. We are aligned with UCSF’s PRIDE (Pro­fes­sion­al­ism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence) values and strive to embody these values in everything we do.

From the lab to the clinic, the school’s researchers, educators, and pharmacists strive to blend an understanding of population-level biomedicine with consideration of individual patients. Our world-leading PhD and doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree programs train students to not only pursue new discoveries and better disease therapies, but to also lead their communities.

Funding opportunities

Grant and scholarship opportunities are available to ensure that our scientists, health care providers, and staff members, especially in the earliest stages of their careers, have the support they need to pursue their goals.

Support for research, education, and community

  • Health Equity Curriculum Internship: This internship, administered by the school’s PharmD degree program, compensates six to eight PharmD students annually for helping faculty members update the pharmacy curriculum to responsibly address issues of health equity. Contact: Sharon Youmans.
