Dean's Professional Council Members Purpose To advise the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences on emerging trends in pharmacy practice and to assist the school by providing leadership and developing resources to promote and implement progressive pharmacy practice. The council consists of 15 to 25 members, most being directly involved in the practice of pharmacy.
Membership is at the invitation of the dean.
It is desirable to have some non-alumni members. Membership broadly represents all areas of pharmacy practice including community chain, independents, hospital, long-term care, nuclear pharmacy, pharmaceutical industry, and education. Company representation is generally limited to one member per company, unless significantly different practice roles are represented, in which case two individuals may serve. The normal term of office is 3 years with one reappointment possible. The work of the council focuses on pharmacy practice with an emphasis on the State of Indiana and the role of Purdue.
