Mylan School of Pharmacy and
the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences

J. Douglas Bricker, Ph.D.
Dean
Dr. Bricker As the seventh dean of the Mylan School of Pharmacy and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, I am entrusted with a proud legacy—to prepare today’s student pharmacists and pharmaceutical sciences graduate students to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This mission is shared by faculty, staff, preceptors and academic partners who know what it takes to make a difference in the educational experience of our students

Our faculty provide enriching academic, clinical and research opportunities that challenge students to think critically and advance confidently along their professional paths. In addition to providing relevant connections between educational theory and practice, these teacher-scholars are also engaged in active, cutting-edge research. New compounds are being synthesized, new discoveries in drug addiction and the role of dopamine are being explored, and significant contributions to pharmacogenomic and translational research are being made. These accomplishments have brought us regional, national, and international recognition and hold the promise of producing positive impacts on health outcomes.

Our students excel in a culture of learning that encourages engagement, ethical behavior and problem solving. Promoting cultural competence and respect for diversity, preparing students to deliver medication therapy management services, establishing interdisciplinary research projects and supporting continuous professional development are key initiatives for the School. A commitment to these strategic objectives ensures continued development of scholarship, professionalism and leadership among students as well as faculty.

We also value the insights and contribution of our alumni, Advisory Board members and corporate and foundation sponsors. Together, they help develop and enhance a world-class pharmacy program for Duquesne University that provides an outstanding environment for learning, teaching and research.

We at Mylan School of Pharmacy hope you gain the insight and information that you are seeking on this website. We have a number of programs, events and publications throughout the year. We invite your questions and comments.
