ALUMNI AND FRIENDS: It has been a landmark year at St. Louis College of Pharmacy. We held our 150th Commencement, grew our research initiatives and developed new programs. Through the commitment of our students, faculty and staff and the support of our alumni and friends of the College, this has been a year that makes me excited about the future of this institution.

In May, we celebrated the class of 2018 with the College’s 150th Commencement. This historic event was the College’s first combined ceremony for our undergraduate and professional degrees. We conferred more than 400 degrees making the graduating class of 2018 the largest in the College’s history.

We also saw incredible growth in the Center for Clinical Pharmacology, with the addition of seven new faculty and more than 25 postdoctoral research associates, graduate and undergraduate researchers and technical staff members. The addition and appointment of Alumni Endowed Professor in the Center for Clinical Pharmacology Tom Burris, Ph.D., FAAAS, FAHA, as vice president for research has accelerated growth at the center and created more opportunities for students to get involved in research.

After extensive planning and research, the Board of Trustees approved the implementation of four new degree programs beginning in the 2019-20 academic year. Our recruiters have been hard at work connecting with high-achieving students with a passion for health care. These new programs mark another important step toward our bright future of continued leadership in pharmacy and health care education.

In addition to these new academic programs, the College continues to forge new partnerships with our neighboring institutions that provide students with opportunities to pursue advanced education and foster the growth of an interprofessional campus community. From graduate-level occupational therapy and physical therapy programs at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College, students will be able to accelerate their learning while building a strong foundation at the College.

After such an exciting year, the campus hums with anticipation for the new growth that we will see as we implement our new programs, continue to advance our research agenda and look at more ways to maintain our momentum. Your generous support, engagement and leadership has been integral in our success, and I look forward to working alongside you to ensure our special College community continues to flourish.

NEW PROGRAMS FOR THE NEW STUDENT Today, the needs and expectations of students applying to college are changing.

Students are looking for a well-rounded college experience that offers choices.

Students want a place to explore and discover with access to expanded opportunities and real-world experiences that will make them competitive wherever their next step takes them, whether that be professional school, graduate studies or the job market.

The College is dedicated to its students and believes these four new programs, tailored to the demands of the health professions market, will provide future students with the ability to find themselves within the context of health care.

6

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Chemistry will be immersed in chemistry and biology, gaining an understanding of how they can be leveraged to improve patient outcomes.

The program provides a background in mathematics and the basic sciences, as well as a broad, general education in the liberal arts and social sciences. The curriculum will provide the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for health care scientists and professionals to understand the chemistry associated with drug design and synthesis.

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES

The biomedical sciences program prepares students for a changing world by giving them a strong academic foundation in the sciences, as well as the skills required to be successful in a wide variety of health professions careers, including in industry and research environments. In addition to developing the skills required for a successful career in health care, students will complete a rigorous core curriculum, building a strong foundation for graduate and professional study.

Designed for students to gain a strong foundation in the basic sciences and liberal arts, the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences combines the College’s existing undergraduate degrees.

Students will tailor their education through one of two emphases — Health Sciences or Health Humanities. The curriculum provides opportunities for students to engage in research and other hands-on learning experiences to expand their skills beyond the classroom, developing the hard- and soft-skills ideal for graduate programs in the sciences and health care, as well as professional programs in pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, veterinary medicine, podiatry and more.

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN GLOBAL HEALTH The global health program brings together scientific and humanistic disciplines to form unique perspectives on international health systems. Through academic research and a senior capstone experience, students will take a deeper look at the health issues that impact people around the world. The degree prepares students for careers as policy analysts and researchers and for leadership positions in governmental and private sector organizations.

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN MEDICAL HUMANITIES The medical humanities program provides students two areas of emphasis — Interdisciplinary Studies or Health Care Communication. Both emphases prepare students to be interdisciplinary thinkers able to adapt to a rapidly growing, complex, diverse and globally focused world. Students will be equipped with the critical thinking and research skills necessary for graduate and professional programs, as well as careers in health care.

PARTNERSHIPS TO MAXIMIZE ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES In addition to its new academic programs, the College is pursuing new partnerships that provide students with opportunities to pursue advanced education and foster the growth of an interprofessional campus community.

Through a partnership with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, students may apply for admission to integrated graduate-level occupational therapy and physical therapy programs.

Students interested in occupational therapy may pursue an integrated master’s or doctoral degree: • Integrated “3+2” bachelor’s degree and Master of Science (M.S.) in Occupational Therapy • Integrated “3+3” bachelor’s degree and Clinical Doctorate of Occupational Therapy (OTD) Students interested in physical therapy may pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) through a “4+3” pathway in which

8

students enter the DPT program after completing a bachelor’s degree. The School of Medicine reserves three spaces in the DPT program each year for students applying from the College who meet admission criteria and prerequisites.

Future nurses can take advantage of a new partnership between the College and Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College. Through a “2+2” pathway, students can complete two years of undergraduate coursework at the College, then two years in the Goldfarb Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Upper Division Option program. Students may also follow a “4+1” pathway in which they can complete a bachelor’s degree at the College, then transition to the one-year Goldfarb BSN Accelerated Option program.

The College also offers students the opportunity to integrate a Doctor of Pharmacy with a Master of Business Administration from University of Missouri-St. Louis, a powerful pairing that prepares students to be leaders and entrepreneurs in industries ranging from biotechnology to community pharmacy.

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

BUILDING ON OUR STRENGTHS The College’s legacy of providing a world-class pharmacy education to its students has allowed for innovation and expansion to reach more diverse populations of students.

Current and past students have already proved that the high-caliber education at the College is excellent preparation for many professional programs.

“It is not surprising that our current curriculum that prepares you to enter a Doctor of Pharmacy program also prepares you to enter medical school, dental school or any number of health-related professions,” said Jeramia Ory, Ph.D., associate professor of biochemistry and undergraduate health professions advisor. “We currently have eight applicants to medical school and two applicants to dental school who have performed above the national averages on the MCAT and Dental Admission Test and — because they took advantage of the many opportunities nearby to shadow, volunteer and to work in a health setting — they are garnishing a number of interviews.”

Building on this proven success, the addition of these new programs will allow the College to connect with students interested in health care that may have never considered pharmacy previously. By creating an environment where students can explore their passions, the College will have new opportunities to promote the profession of pharmacy and cultivate a community of future pharmacists comprising the best and brightest students.

“Diversifying our programs allows us to attract a broader range of students,” said Kim Kilgore, Ph.D., dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. “One of the things we understand that is important to this new generation of students is to have choices. By adding new programs, we can provide our students the opportunity to explore the full breadth of health care.”

GROWING OUR RESEARCH AGENDA

In spring 2017, the Center for Clinical Pharmacology announced the appointment of its first two faculty researchers. Today, the center is flourishing with the addition of seven new faculty and more than 25 postdoctoral research associates, graduate and undergraduate researchers and technical staff members currently working in its labs.

“The notion of the center was born more than five years ago,” said Karen Seibert, Ph.D., executive director of the center.

“The original principle was to go beyond basic research in pain management to think about human clinical research in analgesia.

Now, this center that was built on analgesia pharmacology is diversifying. The research portfolio is expanding, and the center is becoming a research unit.”

Growth at the center took off in 2018 when the College welcomed Tom Burris, Ph.D.,

10

FAAAS, FAHA, Alumni Endowed Professor in the Center for Clinical Pharmacology, to campus. Recently appointed as vice president for research at the College, Burris is focused on working to develop and implement a strategic plan for research that enhances overall research capacity, promotes a culture of research excellence and productivity, and raises the College’s research profile nationally and internationally.

“The College is known for its excellence in training pharmacists, but there is great potential for the College to gain prestige for its research impact,” Burris said. “We’re really looking at how we can become a major player in research relative to other colleges of pharmacy.”

Upon joining the College, Burris brought with him approximately $2.3 million in federal funding and a laboratory staff of 10

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

employees. Burris and his research team are focused on using chemical biology approaches to examine the physiological roles of nuclear hormone receptors and developing drugs targeting them for the treatment of conditions including pain, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

In August, the center also welcomed Susruta Majumdar, Ph.D. Majumdar holds a primary appointment as an associate professor in the College’s Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences and an adjunct appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. With more than a decade of experience in the field of opioid pharmacology, Majumdar is working to synthesize novel chemical probes in order to expand understanding of the preclinical and clinical pharmacology of opioid receptors. His efforts are aimed at helping to create safer analgesic medications that are less addictive and have less potential to lead to overdose.

The center saw further growth last fall with the arrival of Bahaa El-Gendy, Ph.D. El-Gendy is a medicinal chemist who holds a primary appointment as an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences at the College and an adjunct appointment in the Department of Anesthesiology at the School of Medicine.

With a focus on drug design and organic synthesis, El-Gendy and his research team design and synthesize novel small organic molecules as modulators of nuclear hormone receptors for the therapeutic treatment of cancer, fatty liver diseases, Alzheimer’s disease and atherosclerosis.

As the center continues to expand its research capacity, it’s also creating opportunities for students to get involved in research.

Last summer, the center launched its inaugural Summer Research Scholars program, designed to introduce students at the College to research in pharmacology, neuropharmacology and neuroscience under the guidance of center faculty mentors. Federal Work-Study opportunities in research are also available, and the center is looking at independent study opportunities for those who don’t qualify for Work-Study.

“Things are really coming together in a wonderful way at the center,” Siebert said.

“We no longer think of ourselves as ‘new’ or ‘getting started’. Right now, it’s all about what we’ve accomplished so far and what we’re going to do next.”

RAISING AWARENESS FOR MEDICATION ADHERENCE

12

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

St. Louis College of Pharmacy was named as a finalist for the sixth annual “Script Your Future” Medication Adherence Team Challenge, presented by the National Consumers League (NCL) and its partners – the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation, the National Community Pharmacists Association and the American Pharmacists Association.

The challenge was established to educate future health care professionals on how to help patients understand why failing to use medication as prescribed is detrimental to treatment. The College was one of eight finalists recognized out of 66 health profession schools for promoting medication adherence in the local community through programming and events.

“Teams are evaluated based on a number of factors including creativity, interprofessional team composition, program interventions and overall impact on medication adherence awareness in their communities,” said Karin Bolte, J.D., director of health policy at NCL. The College’s team included Darcy Holzum, Pharm.D. ’18, and Jasmine Carpenter, Pharm.D. ’18, who were in their fourth professional year at the time, as well as students from Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College and students from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Amy Tiemeier, B.S. ’01, Pharm.D. ’02, BCPS, director of community partnerships, associate director of experiential education and associate professor of pharmacy practice, served as the faculty advisor.

“St. Louis College of Pharmacy had a strong interprofessional team and conducted innovative outreach events at the Saint Louis Science Center, local public libraries and area health fairs,” Bolte said.

“The team also placed an emphasis on

reaching minority populations by hosting events geared toward Chinese and Ethiopian populations in St. Louis.”

The team partnered with existing programs sponsored by the Student National Pharmaceutical Association, the Asian-Pacific American Medical Student Association at the School of Medicine and the Saint Louis Science Center to expand its reach within the community.

“As future pharmacists, we will be responsible for implementing adherence strategies in order to improve the health outcomes of patients in our community,” Carpenter said. “Medication adherence is a critical part of achieving control, treating and preventing the worsening of chronic disease states.”

The team offered free blood pressure and glucose screenings at various community events. They also encouraged patients to take their medications as prescribed and answered questions about conditions that are prevalent in the community.

“In order to correct issues, we need to speak to patients about the importance of medication adherence and the consequences of being non-adherent to medication regimens,” Carpenter said. “By reaching out, we are not only encouraging patients to take their medications as prescribed, but also helping them take control of their health, improve their quality of life, and decrease their overall health care expenses.”

The Office of International Programs saw an exciting increase in students participating in international service and learning in the 2017-18 academic year.

A total of 62 students participated in study abroad activities, with 44 of those students participating in international advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) rotations.

experiences, Fikes and Bossung found themselves in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

In the winter of 2017, Paul Bossung, Pharm.D. ’18, and Dane Fickes, Pharm.D. ’18, were in their final year of professional study at the College. During one of the eight, five-week rotations necessary to complete their advanced pharmacy practice

“Having an understanding of the perceptions of health care in other cultures is critical,” Fickes said. “As pharmacists, we need to treat patients individually and with a respect and understanding of their culture to effectively counsel and educate them on medications.”

The rotation offered the opportunity to treat diverse patient populations, helping Bossung and Fickes become more aware of how they view patients in their role as health care providers.

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

While Bossung and Fickes learned about the role of the pharmacist in Mexico, they immersed themselves in the culture of Monterrey and got a taste of what life is like in Mexico.

“The people in Monterrey were unbelievably friendly,” Bossung said.

“It wasn’t just the pharmacists and students we met. It was the patients and people we met. Interacting with the residents there and learning about their culture was my favorite part of the experience.”

International experiences like those Fickes and Bossung gained in Mexico help prepare students to serve diverse patient populations and see health care through a global lens. With the aid of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S.

Department of State, administered by Partners for the Americas, the College was able to develop six new study abroad sites in Asia, expanding the total number of international sites available for APPE rotations to 17.

“The number of students who are able to participate in these valuable learning experiences and cultural activities will continue to grow,” said Stephanie Lukas, Pharm.D., MPH, assistant director of international programs and assistant professor of pharmacy administration.

“We now have the international partners and the administrative support to manage one of the most extensive global outreach programs of any college of pharmacy in the United States.”

RECRUITING THE

BEST AND THE

BRIGHTEST

The BESt Pharmacy Summer Institute was developed in 2008 to educate and prepare underrepresented minority high school students for careers in health care, with an emphasis on pharmacy. The initiative, which is a collaboration between Barnes-Jewish Hospital (BJH), Express Scripts and St. Louis College of Pharmacy, gives area sophomores, juniors, seniors and

16

incoming St. Louis College of Pharmacy freshman the opportunity to take part in six-week educational sessions hosted by the collaborating entities on the St. Louis College of Pharmacy campus each summer.

Since its inception, 28 students from the BESt program have gone on to enroll at the College, 12 of whom enrolled in the 2018-19 academic year.

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

BESt participants develop their academic skills through courses in mathematics, science and language arts, while also honing their ACT/SAT skills and gaining professional development and leadership skills. The program also integrates site visits to expose students to pharmacy and other health care professions. BESt features four levels: BESt I for rising sophomores; BESt II for rising juniors; BESt III for rising seniors and BESt IV for incoming St. Louis College of Pharmacy students.

Historical data gathered on graduates from BESt III since 2009 indicates that 99 percent have successfully enrolled in college after high school, with most majoring in STEM professions. In 2016, 100 percent of BESt III graduates were accepted into 4-year universities, with 75 percent declaring pharmacy or other STEM fields as their college majors.

With a father who worked as a pharmacist, pharmacy had always been present in the life of Amanuel Habtu, Pharm.D. ’17. When it came time to apply to college, he reflected on his experience with BESt, which played a key role in helping him determine the kind of learning environment he was looking for.

“I liked the idea of going to a smaller school in the city,” Habtu said. “A smaller campus made it easier to focus on classes, and everyone at the College was really helpful. When I was a freshman trying to get adjusted, the supportive community really made it easier.”

Similarly, freshman Edward Ngo found that BESt empowered him to build a network and community that he could rely on for years to come.

BESt is a one-of-a-kind program that unites three of the region’s most successful health care organizations – all with a common goal of developing the area’s most talented, underrepresented students.

“One of the biggest impacts BESt had on me was the ability to network,” Ngo said.

“When I came to the College, I already knew Dr. Butler [vice president for diversity and inclusion at the College], and people from BJH and Express Scripts. BESt helped me establish a professional network that has been there for me whenever I have questions or need encouragement.”

BESt is a one-of-a-kind program that unites three of the region’s most successful health care organizations – all with a common goal of developing the area’s most talented, underrepresented students so that they are prepared to meet the needs of our ever changing communities and world.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND AT THE STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM On April 14, the College hosted its ninth annual symposium, where the work of nearly 100 students was showcased. The event featured both poster and podium sessions highlighting student research findings on a wide range of topics.

After teaming up with a faculty mentor, students work for months to prepare for the symposium. In recent years, presentations at the symposium have focused on everything from antibiotic therapy efficacy and molecular dynamics studies to the therapeutic benefits of computers and modeling compounds and the efficacy of peer tutoring on biology students.

For health care providers, taking advantage of research opportunities offers the chance to better understand their work as practitioners.

“Patients look to pharmacists as local sources of reliable health care information,” said Dane Fickes, Pharm.D. '18. “We have to be ready to research a patient’s question, analyze the findings and teach that information back to the patient in a way that makes sense to them.

While the specific topics may be different, the methodologies used in research can be implemented into our work as pharmacists.”

As part of his participation in the symposium, Fickes worked alongside Jasna Marjanovic, Ph.D., associate professor of pharmacology, to research the role of signaling molecules in platelet aggregation. The experience included laboratory work, chemical tests and the chance to see results in real time.

“I believe all students at the College should attend the symposium at least once during their time as a student,” Fickes said. “Every year, new students attend, some with no prior interest in research, and are totally blown away by the projects happening at the College.”

The symposium was P4 student Mathew Koebel’s first exposure to formal research.

With several symposiums under his belt, Koebel has traveled to nine countries and 16 states in recent years presenting his research on topics like non-conventional, non-covalent interactions, drug database

18

2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT

mining and the molecular docking programs known as VinaXB and VinaSH. He says his participation in the symposium armed him with the confidence to present at conferences across the globe.

“Everywhere I go, fellow researchers can’t believe that I’ve had the opportunity to do research without being in a structured Ph.D. program,” Koebel said. “Pharmacy opens so many doors, and research opens so many more doors. Having the chance to gain research experience along with clinical pharmacy experience is something that is very unique.”

For Corianne Wood, Pharm.D., ’16, BCPS, the Student Research Symposium provided valuable experience which helped her obtain a residency opportunity with New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina. Having completed her residency in June 2017, Wood is now working as a pharmacist at St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri.

“For those looking to obtain a residency, the opportunity to do research is very beneficial,” Wood said. “The symposium offers good experience and the chance to begin building relationships with other researchers. Pharmacy is a small world, and it’s good to develop those professional relationships early on.

Those who happen to be part of a groundbreaking or impactful project may even have the chance to effect change — which is pretty great.”

BRINGING HALLOWEEN FUN TO

JDRF KIDS AND FAMILIES Since 2006, St. Louis College of Pharmacy has partnered with JDRF, the leading global organization funding Type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, to host Boo Fest, a free event offering a safe and healthy alternative to trick or treating for children with T1D. From Halloween-themed games and crafts to a bounce house and T1D-friendly refreshments, there is no shortage of fun for JDRF kids and families, as well as friends and families of College faculty, staff and alumni.

Boo Fest 2017 marked the 11th-consecutive year of collaborating with JDRF to support families and children managing T1D. With more than 200 families in attendance, it is clear the impact that T1D has on families in the local community.

Once known as juvenile diabetes, T1D is an autoimmune disease which causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin, a hormone needed to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy. While the cause of T1D is unknown, and the disease has no cure, it is treated through the management of blood sugar levels with insulin, which helps to prevent disease-related health complications.

“T1D is typically diagnosed in childhood, and those that have the disease will have it for the rest of their lives,” said Erica Crannage, Pharm.D., BCPS, BCACP, associate professor of pharmacy practice and family medicine clinical pharmacist at Saint Louis University SLUCare Family and Community Medicine. “From the moment of diagnosis, it’s all about counting carbs

and dosing insulin based on carb intake.”

According to JDRF, nearly 200,000 individuals nationwide under age 20 are currently living with T1D, many of which are young children. For kids with T1D, Halloween can be a challenging time, as they struggle to keep their blood sugar levels in check amid a seemingly endless supply of sweet treats. Since candy is composed of refined, simple sugars that are quickly absorbed by the body, Crannage noted that it’s critical for parents of kids with T1D to monitor Halloween candy intake to control blood sugar levels.

“No matter the kid, you never want them to gorge on candy, but this is especially true for kids with T1D,” Crannage said. “Those with T1D have to account for all of the carbs that are coming in from any candy they consume, and then dose a specific amount of insulin to counteract those carbs and prevent a rise in blood glucose levels.”

For children with T1D, candy-free events, like Boo Fest, can serve as great ways for kids to enjoy all the fun of Halloween without all the sugar.

“Our students and faculty members understand that Halloween can be a difficult time for kids with T1D,” Crannage said. “This is why they are so passionate about hosting Boo Fest. Year after year, they go above and beyond to bring this fun and memorable event to campus. We are so grateful to partner with JDRF to make this special day possible for area children with T1D and their families.”

AN AWARD-WINNING YEAR St. Louis College of Pharmacy garnered a number of awards and recognition in the 2017-18 academic year. From our faculty and outreach programs to our new buildings, the College was recognized as an integral part of the community.

Amy Tiemeier, Pharm.D., BCPS, director of community partnerships, associate director of experiential education and associate professor of pharmacy practice, was named to the St. Louis Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 class of 2018 in recognition of her work in the community to combat opioid abuse. Over the years, her work has included increasing public awareness of prescription medication abuse, driving participation in medication disposal initiatives and educating pharmacists

and health care providers on their role in opioid abuse prevention.

The STEM Health Science Academy was selected as an Arcus Award finalist in the Achievement in Inclusion and Talent Attraction category in recognition of its mission to equip high school students with education, on-the-job training and soft-skill development to prepare them for STEM-based careers. The College was also a finalist in the BMO Harris Bank St. Louis Spirit Award category for its efforts to combat opioid abuse. Presented annually by the St. Louis Regional Chamber, the Arcus Awards recognize companies and organizations that make the St. Louis region a more attractive place to live, work and invest.

The BESt Pharmacy Summer Institute was selected as a What’s Right with the Region honoree for 2018 in the Improving Racial Equality and Social Justice category.

As a collaboration between Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Express Scripts and the College, the BESt program was recognized for its commitment to exposing and preparing area underrepresented minority high school students for future careers in health care, with an emphasis on pharmacy. The awards are presented annually by FOCUS St. Louis, the region’s premier leadership organization.

The Recreation and Student Center (RAS) has received accolades for its innovative design, which was created by St. Louisbased architecture firm, Forum Studio, with construction managed by Paric Corporation.

The AIA sponsors the awards annually to celebrate excellence in the designed environment. Through a juried process, the AIA recognizes building projects in the categories of architecture, interiors, small projects, drawings, unbuilt and craftsmanship.

The RAS received an Honor Award in architecture.

The RAS was also named one of the St. Louis Business Journal’s Building St. Louis Awards winners for 2018 in the private projects category featuring projects valued over $10 million. Each year, the St. Louis Business Journal accepts nominations for the awards, which honor St. Louis area commercial real estate projects that have made a positive impact in the community.

The College’s commitment to positively impacting the community through health care education and leadership is fundamental to providing a first-class education to our students.

STLCOP HISTORY On Nov. 11, 1864, in the hall of St. Louis Medical College, a group of prominent St. Louis leaders took steps to progress pharmacy education from an apprenticeship to a formal educational program to meet the needs of a growing city that served as the gateway to the West.

St. Louis College of Pharmacy was one of the first such colleges in America, and the first board consisted of the luminaries of the time: Henry Shaw, founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden; John O’Fallon, businessman and nephew of explorer William Clark; and railroad president Isaac Sturgeon. Prominent pharmacy practitioners, including founders Eugene Massot and Enno Sander, worked tirelessly to ensure the College provided students with a top-notch pharmacy education.

Located in the Central West End medical community since 1927, the College has remained throughout history as the only private, independent college of pharmacy in the U.S. Our independence enables us to focus on educating the very best pharmacists to meet the increasing health care demands of our region and nation. We continue this legacy, as we strive to nurture well-rounded individuals who understand and become involved in the world beyond pharmacy.
