Considerable emphasis is placed on providing our students with fine training and good support to assist them in completing their graduate studies and becoming independent scientists. The success of the department in achieving these goals is evidenced by the prominent positions our graduates obtain in Academia, Industry, and Government upon graduation. Your involvement in the doctoral training program of the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics promises to be a nurturing, as well as an educational and maturing, experience. That, coupled with the reward of understanding the mechanisms of action of pharmacological agents and making possible the development of new agents for the treatment of disease, adds to the excitement and challenge of a profession that is essential and critical for humankind in the modern world. Pharmacology offers tremendous opportunities for an interesting and rewarding career.
Students are a valuable component of the department.
